Hiya Hello24 - Welcome to TT. just show up to any event posted in meetups or the calendar. in general, the weekly
Curry Night (which I see you've found) or
TT Tuesday Drinks is a good place to start off.
there's also loads of other events, some you might find of interest include:
German Conversation Stammtisch. Bring your fluent hubby along as well, we always need peeps who can get tortured, I mean converse with the pidgeon deutschers like myself.
Mums, New Mums and Soon to Be New Mums. If the threads been quiet, probably some of the original posters have had babies recently and so they might be quite busy. There are a few newly pregnant ladies though, so you can perhaps revive the thread.
For your mate though, that there are quite a few Dads on the board and I *think* they've talked about organising one thing or another.
you can also post up a new event and invite people to come along as well.
PS: as always other newbies are invited to step up to the mike and
Introduce Yourself to TTPPS: Oy and in terms of acclimating to life in germany and to TT, I think the
must read thread for newbies is worth a looksee.
