Dear Aubrei Krummert,
I’m new the Heidelberg area and I’m looking for a English speaking playgroup for my son , I spend my childhood in Ireland and even tough I’m still visiting friends and family members over there it seems like I’m loosing the English language . My son is 12 Month old and I’m trying 2 speak as much English with him as possible , which is hard if you only have German people around you .
So I would like to ask if we might be able to join your group. When and where is it?
Thank you so much already,
Greetings from St.Leon-Rot

A reader commented on the Expat Report Living in Heidelberg, Germany
What activities, clubs and organizations would you recommend to newcomers to help them meet others?
I met people mainly by going to bars, many of which, because of the Army presence and international community, cater more to English-speakers and Americans (the downside of this is the GI crowd, which, despite having met a lot of cool soldiers, also has a lot of violent and ignorant drunks.)
There are probably more wholesome ways of meeting people, but I'm wouldn't be the one to know. If you get a job on a U.S. base, they have a lot of programs and such aimed at helping families and new arrivals adjust and meet new people. The university also to host a lot of cultural events and such. There are a lot of nearby woods and mountains so there's always athletic/outdoors type opportunities. (Continue)

Just have fun and don't take life too seriously. You are going to screw up, make a financial mistake, or offend someone. Let it go and move on with it. (Continue)
