Hello,

One of the best ways to assimilate and to meet other expats is by taking language classes.

Dear Priscilla, this is such a nice topic. I am about to move to Belgium but this question comes to me every once in a while. Dealing with this particular feeling - I expect it to show up at one point once I am there.
As @Mark Jasper said, language classes are very nice idea.

I have a dog, so I will test the theory are the people who have dogs more likely to connect faster with community :-)
