Hi,

I'm czech, speaking french and english. I've just moved to Lille. I have a small baby. I'm looking for new friends. It would be nice to find someone with a baby too, so my baby could have one friend too :)

Thanks

Hello fellow english speakers! I am Ivy Cheong-Nicholson, and I speak English, Chinese & Malay fluently. I have not had much opportunity to improve my French, nor make new friends since my arrival in June 2011. So do email me if you'll like to be friends (ivycheong@gmail.com)

Hello, all!
I'm French, from Lille, and am just back in Lille after 6 years spent in the USA. I got used to living in an international environment (I spent the last 3 years in NYC) and I really miss meeting people from everywhere, speaking English, and I miss American culture a lot too.
I need to rebuild a social life and would like to meet English speakers. I speak French too of course if anyone would like to improve their French!

It'd be nice to meet as a group maybe. I'm jobless so free anytime :)

shweetkoel

Hey guys, im back in lille...lets all try to meet up for a drink next week friday or thursday....u guys can reach me on ***
looking forward.

We also live in Lille with a little girl who will turn 2 in September. She is raised in a bilingual environment: English with me, her dad, and French with her mom. It'd be nice to meet and see how the kids interact together. How old's your child?
Feel free to ask anything and get back to me asap.
Talk to you soon then.
Bye for now,

hi amber,
I have from Ireland but I lived in New York for a while, Astoria, great place. I am moving to Lille in September to teach History in an international school. I don't know anyone one in lille and would like to find English speaking people in Lille as my French isn't so good.
Thanks,
Stevey

Petermary

Hi Stevey,
I'm a teacher myself at university level. I'm also looking for English-speaking people who would be willing to get in touch with me and my family on a regular basis to broaden horizons and get to know new people from different backgrounds. I've been in Lille for over 3 years and I'm bilingual. My kids are raised in both languages. I'd be happy to get to know you better when you are settled.
What school will you be teaching in?
Feel free to get back to me if you feel like it.
Bye for now,
Peter

Hi there!  :)

I'm David from London/Kent, I just turned 29 and I've lived in Lille for a few months now.  I'm eager to meet new friends and indulge in some English (and French) over here! My French is very basic but i'm making steady progress, would love to meet other people also learning the language. I've been teaching English privately to get by and definitely need to get out more! haha Feel free to drop me an email or add me on Facebook: Davidrhanks@live.com Facebook

Would welcome a coffee or drink in Lille any time,
Hopefully speak soon! :) Thanks, David
