After living many years in Europe, my husband (American/Swiss) and I (Swiss) decided to move to sunny Austin. I was just wondering if they are some fellow Europeans living in the neighborhood who could give tips and tricks to a newcomer and/or want sometimes to speak French, German or Italian.

Hi Jocelyne,

I moved to Texas 7 years ago. My Italian is non-existent, my French is terrible, but you may find my German passable. Maybe we can start a lecture series about the correct pronunciation of "Müller" .

Cheers,

Henning

I'm originally from the UK. I moved to texas about 7 years ago and seem to have settled in ( so there is definitely hope :-) )...would be happy to chat..my wife certainly speaks french -- even though she is of US decent...

Come by the wedge anytime we are usually around..or pm if you want to organize something specific..

that's great, thank you for the moment we are renting a small garage apartment so can really organize anything but will check if I see you at the wedge, cheers

Gruessi! I lived in Austria for 2 years and enjoy practicing my German whenever possible. Mark

Gruetzi mitanand! I'm a Texan who lived in Zuerich back in the 1970s. I learned my German there, so I speak with a Swiss accent! There are actually a good number of German speakers in the neighborhood. I work on my Italian on my occasional trips there, but could use a patient conversational pardner.

Welcome to Mueller.

Henning had a good idea, why don't we (Eurpeans, foreign languages fans and all others who would like to join us) try to meet Sunday at 9 am at the Elixer near the old hangar. Machen Sie doch Alle mit!

I'm English, have lived here 6.5 years, and can't remember a word of schoolboy German, have a smattering of French and do a terrible British accent.

That said, I'll see if we can get out on Sunday and hopefully join you!
