Which are your best tips to meet people and to make friends in Slovenia??

Thanks in advance for your participation

Yes, I have the same problem since i don't speak the language yet....
So if all the expats and slovenians who want to meet could write something here, we could make some appointement.... It's just an idea but if  we could all walk together it could make things easier...

Hi, I just noticed this question, it is a good one, one that I ask myself most times! Its really difficult to start up a conversation (a) when you don´t know Slovene very well (b) without someone thinking ´ohhhh he or she is interested in much more than a mere conversation!´:/ 

I have tired going to events but everyone seem to go off into their private little groups and leaves the new kid out! :rolleyes:

So if anyone has tips and tricks feel free to pass them along please.. :)

Hi!
I know, it's not easy to make new friends when you aren't sure in speaking the language, but I think that people here like to practice their English, too :) My suggestion is to join some interest or sport group, choir etc. When I was abroad I also found it difficult to make friends with locals, but joining a choir helped me a bit :)
Well, and of course, if you want to have some coffee in Ljubljana, you can contact me :)

I like making friends with foreign people, and have no problems speaking french.

Hi all,

I'm Jag from UK. I visit Slovenia often and I would like to establish a network of friends there. I have read some members are interested in the French language, and although I have no fluency within this language, I can help with some aspects of English. It would be great to meet some of you in my next trip for a coffee or drink.
