Hi everyone! My name is Martti and I am 28 years old.

I just moved here to Düsseldorf like one week ago from Finland and now I am starting to be lonely. I would be more than happy to get some hints from the locals or from the people who have lived here about activities and so on. And i'm fine also if you just want to talk about non-senses. Don't hesitate to contact me. :)

Also if you know any nice affordable german language courses, please feel free to tip about them.

I can speak english quite fluently (I can speak it much better than I can write it) and of course as my native language I can speak finnish. I also handle the basics of swedish. I am atm. learning german by myself, but it's hard and since I can't speak it properly it makes integrating even harder.

Hello Martti.

Welcome to Expat.com! :)

Thank you for this introduction.

Concerning the german language courses, the Classes section (Language classes) in the Dusseldorf classifieds might help. You can post an advert there.

Thank you,
Aurélie
