Introduction

During ~6 years of my life I worked in a warehouse in Scotland, picked apples in Germany and taught English in Colombia, all for the sake of language learning and seeking a bit of an adventure. At the age of 41, settled with wife and children in Budapest as I am now, my Spanish and German are getting rustier with each year. It's time to take action. I kind of also miss the multicultural environment I was living in while working abroad. Therefore I would like to meet native speakers of Spanish and German who would like to practise their English (or Hungarian, god forbid) in the form of a quid pro quo conversation over a nice cup of coffee or beer. My idea would be to get together once a week after work somewhere in the city but a more formal teaching of English (grammar, etc.) is also viable on my part.

I joined expat.com on 09 September 2010.
