hi guys

I moved to Naples at the start of this year from England. I know exactly what you mean. My Italian is not that great at the moment and would be nice to have a proper conversation with someone that understood me.

I'm in Sorrento. Would like to organise a monthly get together of some sort. In the process of getting some people together. don't know where or when but probably not till october.

I have been living in St Agata for nearly two years and have not found many other English speaking people. I came here to live with an Italian. He speaks very good English but as other people have said it would be nice to chat without having to explain or choose the right words. It would be good to share some of the 'interesting' aspects of life in Italy! I am 55, I was a nurse for 30 years in the UK and now teach English to private pupils. I am often in sorrento so would be able to meet there.

Hi all
I moved to Termini (near Sant.Agata) in February this year with my husband and little girl to take over a hotel/serviced residence and have found the social isolation somewhat challenging (despite having the family of my husband in Piano). It would be great to meet some other expats in the community and organise monthly meets. Please let us know if you are interested.
Linda, we live very near by and it would be nice to catch up for a coffee.

Hi mary
let me know when would be a good time to meet. Would love to get together for coffee. I recently met an English lady in Sorrento who has other English friends so may be potential for a monthly group.

I think trying to get a group of expats together would be fantastic. Perhaps we could set a date two weeks from now where we try and get as many expat friends as possilble to meet....

I suggest:
Saturday the 27th of October.
Sorrento
How about the sorrento palace hotel bar? It's big enough to accomodate a lot of people but even if we turn out to be a small group it's still somewhere comfortable where people could talk without having to shout over loud music or lots of people.

I've already got about 5 or 6 people who I'm sure would go.

I'd LOVE to do this!

Maria - this sounds great. Please let us know a time.
Cheers
Mary

I think 20.00 could be a good time.
I'll create an event on facebook and invite people so we can have an idea of how many people are coming.
