I am interested! We could meet every noiw and again for a drink or coffee or whatever and practice. My English is very good (I come from a bilimgual country) but I do not have a British or American accent. SO if you are after the accent, I don't think I can help you |

I am also interested in getting together. I just moved to Zurich from the States a couple months ago and have been taking beginner German classes for about 6 weeks now. I am definitely a beginner, but am motivated. Let me know if you are interested in getting together.

We should agree on an evening or afternoon and meet up for drink or something so as to get to know each other. What do you say girls? |

Sounds good! How about next Tuesday or Wednesday evening? This Saturday morning or afternoon is fine with me too... you all seem to be very enthusiastic, so why not? Are you all from Zurich? How about meeting in the city?

As I am not living close to there (I am still in Vevey), I do not know the places. I will be coming from Volketswil by train when I meet you (it will be wed the 27th for me). I suggest meeting not far from the train station so those of us coming by train won't find it hard to find the place etc. Let me know how the first meeting goes next week. Hope you manage to met girls. I have been in Switz for a year now and appreciate nothing more than making new friends...it makes such a big difference |

Hi all.
Firstly I'll have to mention that I'm not Female (what gave you that impression  )
Secondly my classes are Wednesday & Thursday evenings so I can't do those evenings |

Hi Takinremi,
Im so sorry... was a genuine mistake. Since I did not find any indication of whether ur a guy or a girl, I thought I had a 50/50 chance of getting it right  Of course, I didn't
Let's see if the others are available on a monday then. If not, then we will have to work by the majority.
let's check availabiities: I am available Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday from 4 pm onwards. ( I have German lessons every morning until I find a job!! ) What about you others? Takinremi? Drosie? Mariann? If any others want to join us, ur welcome of course |

Seems like this isn't happening this week, but can we figure out a place for next week that works for everyone. Can you all do Monday, Aug 24 at 6:30pm? Does somewhere around HB work?
