I'm in Basel so not much use with Geneva info.聽
One thing you might try is looking trough the Swiss English forum.
Put 'English Forum Switzerland' into Google and look it over.聽

I love to travel so much. I always hope to improve my foreign language skill, every time I travel other countries and meet new people there. Unfortunately, I can find few chances to have conversation in other languages in my daily life.
I'm wonder if anyone can help me to practice.
Of course,I can help you with French. Both serious study group and casual conversation are welcome. that's my number if you want to contact me on whatsapp or something. +41 79 271 2001 .

Hello!

I just arrived in Geneva on the 26th of July, and I am also looking to meet some new people... My French is decent (I am attending lessons) but I am most comfortable speaking English. I would love to travel a lot this year, so it would be fun to meet someone who feels the same way!

Hi Hannah! I'm in Plan-les-Oautes, which is rather far, but tomorrow there is an au pair picnic that is very close to you! You should check out the group! It is called Link: the au pair connection.

The meeting is close to Coppet
