Hello All,
I just moved to Austria for what will likely be at least a year and possibly longer. I'm working on it, but my German is nearly non-existent at this point. I'm wondering if anyone has advice on getting out and meeting people while linguistically handicapped.
In the States I might have joined some clubs or teams or something but here I'm not even sure where to start or where to find clubs. I have a very very small group of co-workers so networking isn't going to work all that well. Austria seems like a great place with lots of cool things to do (particularly skiing this time of year), but it'd be more fun to get some people together and do them.
I've been wondering if any other English speakers out there might be in the same boat. Would anybody be interested in some group outings for expatriates and friends? Skiing? Tourism? Cool restaurants? Live music shows? I don't mind being an organizer if there's any interest.
Let me know if
a) You have some advice
b) You would be interested in joining some group activities
Best Regards,
Dave
