Hi! I am Christine. I am fairly new to Germany, and looking for English speakers in the Göttingen area! Any takers?

C

where is Göttingen?

Obviously no where near where I live.

Göttingen is near kassel , a very largely student populated city and i'm sure you'll find lots of people who can speak good English, good hunting and good luck.

Hello Christine,

I am moving to Goettingen in March next year. I'm a British woman currently living in Switzerland. We've been here for nearly 4 years and moved here because of my husband's company restructuring. They like restructuring so much that they're doing it again and this time it's to Goettingen. I'll be coming up in the next few weeks to sort out accommodation so perhaps we could meet for coffee?

Göttingen is a university town in Niedersachsen, about half an hour south of Hannover with the ICE.

Hey Christine,
Im currently a student here in Goettingen, would def be interested in meeting up or chatting.

Hello, I'm a 25 year old British guy living in Kassel. I haven't found many English speakers here (well, I've found two) but I'm looking for more! I've been to Goettingen a couple of times - they've got a cinema there next to the Church that sometimes does English-language films...

So say hi

There are about 100 Americans on an email list for Göttingen. Send an email to Howard (howard@schultens.net) to get put on this list. About 15 people show up on the 2nd Friday of each month at a bar/restaurant (currently it is Zak's but check with the email list to find out if it has changed. There are also about 70 American university exchange students at any given time. There is also a group called Democrats Abroad which has about 100 members in the Göttingen area (http://www.democratsabroad.org/group/germany). I am trying to get an English chilren's playgroup regular and large enough to be self-sustaining. The Americans email list has occasional special activities (Thanksgiving, 4th of July).

I know a couple Irish and British people, but I know of know organized activities/groups for them. Mostly the native English speakers are hard to locate other than the few things I mentioned above.

Hi, i am currently pursuing my thesis in a small town close to Göttingen, actually a 45 mins train journey away from Göttingen. But keep coming to Göttingen often. Anyone interested in meeting up for Dinner or drinks on Fridays or Saturdays??? Have been in this small town now for a little over than 2 months and the social life here is next to nil.

So, interested people put up ur replies here and seeing how many people are interested we can decide upon the meeting place and time later.

cheers

Hey people, my son & I are moving west to Gottingen in a while and I'd love to be able to correspond with anone from there or nearby!
