Hi Leona.
It's nice to know I'm no the only one in this situation! How long have you been in living in Oslo?
So far I still haven't found any groups in English.

Hi, nice to see your reply! i have been living in Oslo for more than 1 year.But I can't still speak norwegian.
I am going to learn norwegian next year. I am working in Oslo and my work belongs to my home country. so I will stay  here for 4 years.
i am still seeking for some interesting activities like communication  in English, leisure activities. and some sports such as yoga. oh, but i didn't find out at all.
i am not happy for these things!

Hi people
As far as I know , there is a couch surfing group couchsurfing.com for more details, Its a bunch of really nice people with meetings, the schedule of which is posted every month.You can see the mentioned link for this.

Apart from it, its a group "New to Oslo" which you can part of and there are nice people there too.

Finally if you want to have a good time around, we could meet up sometime when you people have time.I am also the one which only basic norwegian but I am talking a course right now.


Best Regards
Ammar

Welcome Theaa!

There are lots of people on here too, lots of blogs to explore.

There are lots of English here in Norway, but yes we are mostly "old" lol!

You can try "visit Oslo" on facebook too to find out what is going on.

Also: expatwomen.com/countries/expat_women_living_in_norway.php#2 is a good resource to dig through.

Good luck Theaa, I hope you find some peeps!

Hello,

I am Karthik. I have been in Oslo for last 3 months. I am from India and working here in IBM and I can speak english :-)

Let me know if you would want to meet some time for coffee or a beer

Hello ppl,

looks like a lot of newbies, lets arrange a time and meet up....

Hi Theaa
Hope you're doing ok, meeting lots of the great people here   I go to a yoga class near Majorstuen at a place called Puro Yoga; although they don't have exclusively English classes if you mention that you don't speak Norwegian they're really good at switching between the 2 so that you have a clue what's going on. My experience so far is that, everyone in Norway seems to speak really good English so it's possible you might find a few like-minded people to chat to there too.  Good luck
