    So, I've been in Paris for over a year now, but I find it hard to make friends. I find it a little bit complicated to make french friends - I can speak french, but I'm not fully comfortable with the language, so I can't really make jokes and be myself. The friends that I used to have all left (they were all foreigners staying here for a limited time) and now I'm all alone again and it's kind of very hard, actually.
    I'm 25, brazilian, looking for friends of any nationality or gender to just... hang out, go to the movies, have a drink, talk.

    so, you can reply to this message with your email or something, and it would be lovely to meet some new people.

    I guess I should add that I speak portuguese, english, and some french.

    (almost forgot, my name is Mila).

    Hi Mila! It is indeed hard to make friends in a new place. Luckily there is a a thread with at least one person looking for a speaking partner/friend friends-paris-t1897-40.html.

    There is also a site called "meet-up" that helps people find social groups & there is groups that meet in Paris: http://www.meetup.com/cities/fr/paris/

    Best of luck!

    Hi Mila and Jess,

    I've just arrived in Paris and will be here for the next month. I came from Austraila and would be happy to meet up for a coffee, if you would like :). If so, let me know and I'll give you my email address.

    Hope to hear from you soon!

    Hi Mila, I'm here since one month and something, and I've to admit, it's not that easy to make new friendship here.
    It would be a pleasure to meet new people to go out together or just to have some conversation about some feeling here, in this new city.
    A part of this, I'm looking for some places where to do some activities (I was looking for some courses about drawing, dance, or similar), but I'd like to go with some people I already know: is there anyone interested?

    PS: I'm 29, I'm Italian and I lived three years in Spain (I speak fluently Spanish)

    Bye!
