English speaking community

9/5/2013 10:34 EST

Hi,

I have recently moved to Martinique with my fiance who is originally from Martinique. Unfortunately I dont speak french but am learning and would like to know if there are any communities of English speakers as I would like to meet up and find out how you are getting on in Martinique etc. I have Rosetta Stone but i feel that i need another way of learning the language to help speed up the process.

Also, it would be nice to given some advice on how to find work and to generally socialise as i currently do not know many people apart from my fiancés friends and family.

Merci

Adam

Hi there,

My name is Laurence and I'm married with Nicholas Collins. We're moving to Martinique in december 2013. I bet you made some progress on Learning french since may. If not I would be happy to help you out as I'm a french native speeker bilingual in both languages. I'm also curious to know if there's a English speaking community in FdF or some places where my husband and I can socialise and celebrate Thanksgiving/Hallowee/ 4th of July ect...
Hope to hearing from you soon.
Laurence & Nick Collins.

Hi Guys,

I have moved to Martinique with my French boyfriend last year, I am Hungarian and learning French recently as well, but I'm much more fluent in English. I've also been looking for a kind of English-speaking community in Martinique, but haven't found one so far. I think it would be nice to share our experiences, give each other advices and maybe learn some French together.

Hope to hear from you soon,

Fanni
