Hey everyone!
I'm an Aussie guy who has moved close to Haugesund with my Norwegian partner.
Looking to meet other expats to hangout with and maybe get a beer!
Any expats in or near Haugesund

Hello,
How are you finding Haugesund? I used to live there for 4 years, before moving to Oslo.

David its good but we have struggled with not speaking Norwegian. Also not knowing any English people has proved hard!

Not speaking Norwegian does cause problems. The dialect in Haugesund also takes some getting used to, since it is quite different from what you might be taught in a Norwegian class. Having said that, I think the Haugesund dialect is easier for a native English speaker to speak than the dialect in the east. Have you started Norwegian classes yet? I went to evening classes at Breidablikk. It's a good way to learn and to meet other foreigners.
