Ich suche deutsche Gesellschaft in Kuwait, zur Unterhaltung. Are there any native German speakers interested to meet a South African expat who speaks & understands the language (Deutsch als Fremdsprache), for socialising? I need to practise my language skills!

Legacy, you are not paying attention lately!

He is not looking for German (Deutsch), not Dutch people. Although coming from SA I can understand how you can get easily confused.

marckdan: Hallo und willkommen auf expat-blog I'd help you but my German can be compared to a three year old! I'm sure my husband wouldn't be thrilled if I offered him haha but there's a fairly large amount of German speakers in Kuwait so you shouldn't have an issue finding them just keep speaking German they'll find you

Halli-hallo!
Thank you for the response. Ja, Deutsch hab' ich schon hier auf der Strasse gehoert, but I didn't want to accost strangers on the street! I read about a group, German Ladies of Kuwait (GLOK),in an online forum before I left, but haven't seen reference to them since landing. So, meanwhile I'll keep my ears open.......I hope someone here will be able to point my ears in the right direction!

Absolutely!
I'm in Mahboula, and I hope the venue is on a bus route.....

So I found my way there, but got completely lost in the area and got to the venue just as they were packing up. Social contact with GLOK is only through a lady partner who'd become a member of society. Pity....:-(

Everytime i see a white person here i stare and try to identify if they are german/austrian/swiss. It would be nice to meet some of them to practice the language. I also plan to head to germany in 6 months if all goes to plan.

Oh, I can easily spot them! And when they speak just one word, my ears are peaked. But I feel a little awkward just to go up and speak to them....
