Good for you for getting ...I'll drink to that! Good for you for getting out there - with some success.<br /><br />There are also a few organizations or groups that can hook you up with English speakers. GRoups like:<br /><br />- The American Society of Rio de Janeiro (not for Americans exclusively)<br />- The folks over at CouchSurfing.org organize English speaking outtings <br />- InterNAtions.org has a Rio group and they organize gatherings<br /><br />And others. I tend not to join the establishment group (Am Soc of RdJ) because the dues are a lot and I don't see myself matching up with many of the members - but I know others have had a great time at some of their gatherings). Groups like InterNations are business networking groups with social events. Again, I do not see myself as a great fit for this. THe younger, wackier group that is CouchSurfing is much more my stayle and you may want to check them out.<br /><br />I'm sure others have more ideas. Keep at it!Jimhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14003236423048071844noreply@blogger.com
