Hi everyone
I have been viewing this forum for a while and thought it was about time I said hi and introduced myself properly. I’m from Nottingham, England and have been living just outside Basel for the last 18 months. I came here because of my husband’s work and have been trying to learn German, naively thinking I would be fully integrated with the locals and a bit more fluent by now! I enjoyed a couple of the Wednesday German conversation groups recently as a guest and looking forward to joining more events soon and meeting new people.

Hi,
Welcome to the Forum.
Where in Germany do you live? I live in Grenzach just about over a year now but have been in Germany for nearly three years. Let me know if you want to meet up for a coffee sometime.

Hi Louise
Thanks for the welcome. I live in Scwoerstadt and am often in Grenzach as my husband works there. Coffee sounds great, let me know when you are free.

Hi Louise,

Welcome to the EF...and Basel albeit a little belated. I dragged my wife and son here from the Ireland although we are originally from the UK. He's in a local kindergarten (and is slowly getting to grips with the language) and my wife is currently at home but taking German lessons. Hopefully you'll get to meet at one of the conversation groups in the future

Once again welcome

Hi and welcome to the Basel area! If you have some free time you can check the social calendar and join us Baslers sometime for a pint or a chat. Enjoy the forum!

Thanks Black Eyed Suzie, O'Henry and JustRose. Will have a look at the Social Calander

Thanks for the welcome. Finding EF a very useful resource.
Unfortunately can’t make the pub crawl as back in the Uk that weekend but hope to meet you all at one of the future events. Anyone know if there is a curry night coming up?
Sue
