Hi everybody !
I'm arrived at vancouver last week to learn english. It's so difficult for me, ma english is very bad. I'm lost in Vancouver, I want to do a lot of activities but I'm alone. I have just some friends studients. I would like visit Vancouver but not alone if someone is ready to come with me and wait when I try to speak.

Thanks !

Hi Delphinou,

Welcome in Vancouver.
I wish i could help you but lately i'm very busy with my work.
You should try the Vancouver meet up group. There are different kind of groups with different activites, it's a good way to speak english, meet people and have fun.
Otherwise if you need some more information feel free to ask.

cheers,

Hi Delphinou, and welcome to Vancouver!

Don't worry too much about your English (by the way, it doesn't seem bad to me at all). Vancouverites are usually very helpful and patient with foreigners, and no one expects you to speak English fluently after just one week :)

What are some of the activities that you cannot do alone? This is a super safe city, so it's completely OK to go out and explore by yourself - I actually find that I learn more about a new place when I'm alone, because I pay more attention to what's around me.

If you'd like to meet other people who have arrived in Vancouver recently, I organise a monthly meetup via the expat network InterNations.org. Would you like to join us at the next event?

Thanks a lot Poupen and Earcher ! It's very good for me te receive your answers.
What kind of job have you?
I like sports : run and walk, swim, ski. I would like to go to Whistler and The Rocky Moutain with my school. Earcher, nice to come at your monthly meetup. But, where and when ? I think my friend want to go with me.

I know it's possible to visit alone but I'm alone on the house yet ...

thanks

Hi Delphinou,

The expat meetup is on March 3rd, and it will be in Gastown - I will send you a message to give you the details.

Have a great day! :)
