Hi,
I am moving over to Schwenningen soon because my boyfriend is playing hockey there this season. I am wondering if any Americans/Canadians or english speaking people are living in the area and could tell me a little about it. I had a bad experience last year in Sweden and am a little nervous about the move. I am also wondering if there are any jobs in the area. I have a degree in Elementary Education, but would love to do pretty much anything to get involved and meet people. Thanks for all the help!!

Life in the Schwenningen area
Info, newcomer advice, meeting others, etc.
When I lived there (many years ago) there was a British International club that my parents used to go to.
It wasn't just for British people, there were a good few Americans and some Germans who just wanted to practice their English.
Couldn't say whether it's still going but there are definitely still English-speakers in the area.
I really enjoyed living there. It's a lovely part of the country.
Good luck to your boyfriend too! I used to be a regular at the ice hockey - the wild wings were in the top division back then. Didn't do too badly last season either!
Edit: Just googled it and found a website http://bivs.gmxhome.de/ You could send them an e-mail to see if they still meet up.
