Join international groups, like expat or Women in Vienna. There is a large international community here... but you should learn German as well.

I'm curious it seems as though a lot of expats haven't really learnt the language (based on scrolling through the various conversations on here). I am confused as i've been told you need to know at least A1 level with certificate in order to apply for a residence permit?
