Hello!
I just moved to milan as an au pair for the summer! I do not speak any italian but I did study spanish in middle school and high school so I can understand a few words of italian but not much.
I have mornings free a day a week off work and want to see the city but I do not want to go walking around Milan alone. I was wondering if there was anyone out there who was in the same situation who would like to go get coffee or tea or go see the Durmo/ sightsee around milan with me? I would like to find other American people or other english speaking people in milan..
Ciao!
sorry to inform u that these nice sexy ppl are totally ignorant with english..i used to suffer there alot while dealing with ppl in italia...even i am trying nowadays to start some italian courses to be ready for moving there...i think that if u will be staying there for a long time u should try to learn too...even if for the usual words which ppl use daily
ciao! when are you going to be there? I'm moving there beginning of August. I don't really know Milan that well n it'd be good to meet some new people.

I have literally just arrived in Milan from Scotland. I have a job here for a year but as it came out of the blue I didn't have a chance to learn the language. If anyone is organising any expat nights out give me a shout! I know there is a bar down my street that has karaoke once of twice a week and is a mix of Italians and expats - I am not a singer though.
Cheers,
Danny
Hey Scottish man ;-)
I will be making a decision in regard of my moving to Milan on Tuedsady. In fact, I am currently considering to job opportunities one in German and one in Italy.
The job in Germany is more rewarding as for concern the money but the job in Milan it will be by far more stimulating. Dunno what to do yet ... the decision time is getting bloody close !!!!
If I move to Milan it is my firm intention hanging out with English speaking people ... I can't cut all ties with my life in UK by speakin' Italian most of the day, even though my job is gonna bring abroad for three months a year ...
Having English speaking friend is like a way enabling me not to cut all ties with my life here.
Anyway, if I decide to move to Milan I will have to find a place to live and would be amazing to share a flat with an English speaking person ;-). I would be in Milan by the first half of September and if you need a moral or practical support relating to your moving to Milan do not hesitate to contact me by adding me to msn: coldarsonist@hotmail.com
ps: no idea about the karaoke night you are talking about because I don't know the area you live in. Oh my god, I ma being too wordy as usual...
Cheers m8!!

Does this forum ever have any meet-ups - even just for coffees etc on a lazy weekend afternoon?
Im new to this forum and I was wondering the same thing. But I found this group called Americanites.com and it basically plans events and night outs with international people. The events have stopped in august but I would suggest you join the group on facebook because some people try to organize meet ups!
this should happen asap !....i ll be to milano isa within few weeks and wanna enjoy my days there and still my italiano is poor...we must organize some events to have fun all together ....( english speaking gals ! )...i gonna search 4 this group craprri2 on fb
Thanks for the link to Americanites.com. I think its my flatmates friend who organises the events so I most definitely will be attending. Hopefully see some of you there!
Hi everyone!
I've just graduated and decided to move to Milan to be an au pair for a year. I'll be moving over at the start of October. As I won't be studying at university I was really hoping that I could meet some people throught this forum? I'd also really appreciate any tips about language classes as my Italian is very basic at the moment?
Hope you can help
Ciao
