New in Berlin (or new to this forum)

If you are new in Berlin, or live in Berlin and are new to this forum, feel free to post a message here to introduce yourself to the rest of the TT community.

Note: Posting to say "send me a message" is not the way to meet people here. It's not how it works. This isn't a contacts board. Instead you need to be proactive. Browse the list of meetups and events, if you see one interesting then post that you'll attend and then go along. All the groups here are welcoming to newcomers. If you don't see an event of interest, start your own. Be bold. Post a date, time, venue, and short description of what kind of meetup it is (cinema, drinks, dinner, bowling, etc.), and that's it. People will join you.

Hey everyone

Im Dennis, 21 years of age and originally from Denmark. Just moved here about two months ago without a single clue on what was going to happen in this fantastic city. My german is long forgotten, it's been ages since I had it in school(or at least it feels that way) but somehow I managed to get a job, going to a job interview where I had to speak german.(I still wonder how I pulled it of)

I'm very much into films and literature, but music is probably my main interest when it comes to culture - love to go to concerts/festivals and discovering new music. I also play basketball and have done so for most of my life. Another great passion of mine is travelling, but unfortunately it takes alot of money to be on the road, which makes it a rather expensive hobby. Berlin is now the big adventure and I would really love to find some fellow adventurers. I hope to meet you nice people for drinks, movies and what not in the near future.

Hi Everyone,

I'm Jack, a 19yo from Tasmania, Australia. I'm moving to Berlin on the 16th July to live with my girlfriend for a year (or more, if I really like her / the city). I'm a dual Australian / UK citizen, so for all intents and purposes I appear to be from the EU.

I haven't got a job planned yet, but I'm hoping to be able to find *something*. I have enough cash to live on for about 4-6 months, depending on how frugally I live. As for language skills, it's pretty much nothing. I've found an intensive German course for early August, to get into the swing of things.

So, hope to see you all sometime.

Hi everyone
I'm new to this site and am coming to Berlin at the beginning of August...
I was wondering if you will be having any meetings then and also if you know the cheapest way to get from Berlin to Brussels??

Thanks!

you're in the events section so you can actually check them out too. There are two regular Thursday night drinks. One general one and one for queers/gay people but if you look down the events section for Berlin you will see heaps of one off meetings that may be more to your taste.

Hey everyone. I`ve been on this forum before, but now just posting and introducing myself. I`m a 24 year old black female from Toronto, moved here in March and currently studying at Humboldt for a semester, but this is my third time in Germany so I know allll about the beauracracy, shitty roommates, dating German men, etc. etc. If anyone is a house music.deep house lover contact me! I have yet to visit any of the big clubs like Berghain or Weekend but with the summer approaching Im sure it will be good.

Bis dann

Hi all! My name is Alyson and I am a 21 year old American living in Berlin while I study English at the FU. I have been learning German for 6 years, and studied it in the US (along with Music) for 2 and a half of those years. I am livinig in Steglitz since April, and before that I was in Lichterfelde Ost (near Osdorfer strasse s-bahnhof) for 3 months. I hope to meet new people and attend some of the meetups. Looking forward to meeting many of you!

I am from Colorado, and here for a month or so while my wife starts a collaboration with a research institute in Berlin. I am also a PhD Student looking to design mobile tools to help individuals learn a language, so I want to try and take advantage of my time here.

I would be interested in connecting with English speakers who happen to be beginning or intermediate German speakers to talk about how you go about learning another language, and to hear about your successes and failures... I would also like to talk to any travel/tour guides who have to work with non-native speakers of a language.

In addition, I am just happy to meet other people and explore Berlin, hiking, learning German, cooking, movies, or anything else. I do have a 20 month old daughter, so I will have to plan a bit in advance to make things happen unless they are during the day.

Cheers,
Stephen

Hi all, recently moved to Germany from Boston, lived in NY/CT before that. Living in Amberg, 26 year old male. If you see a doofy looking giant (6'4") wandering around Amberg looking lost, that'd be me. Cheers.

I couldn't decide on the right venue to let people know more than one Thursday-night-drinks-cycle in advance, but I'll be back in town July 5-11. I'm at a workshop in Golm July 6-9 but I plan to at least make an appearance at drinks that week. I believe my Handy still works, for those who have the number...

I am American (colorado) and I will start work in Berlin in July and i am interested in making some friends to meet up with for some drinks on the weekend or something. I am very excited to be back in Berlin it is by far my favorite city on this planet.

Hi You all. New to Berlin. Single and attractive. Looking to meet single men who know the ropes and can show me round. Long blond hair, blue eyed and fit.

I'm 27 year old female, from Los Angeles. I moved to Berlin to be with my boyfriend (shocking, I know). I do speak a little bit of Italian and am teaching myself German. Here I am currently working here as an Eng teacher. I love sports, traveling, laughing, joking (very sarcastic but non native speakers dont get the jokes!). I am normally very outgoing, but have become a bit shy here (I would guess because I don't speak German, so I tend to be quiet). I went to UCLA, recieved a degree in theatre. Ultimately, I would like to be fluent in Italian, German and, if I can, Spanish (not sure how many languages my poor brain can handle..)! And, of course, I want to make friends here because I intend to stay for awhile and want to enjoy my time while I'm at it!!
dont know if I should include, but my email is ekrogersucla@gmail.com

Hi all, my name joseph. Although I have been in Berlin since 2007, but I am new to this forum...
