Today, let’s talk about how to make friends with native English speakers! 

Recently, I interviewed a good friend of mine. I asked him how he made friends when he first moved to Australia. Watch the video below and see what he said!

Some places to meet friends:

  • At work
  • At school
  • Join a sports club
  • Join a social group, such as a church or youth group
  • Join a volunteer organisation

Remember: Go somewhere safe to make friends. Joining a sports club or a social group, such as a church or youth group is a great way to start!

Question: How do you meet new people?

Today, let’s talk about how to meet people who speak English!

It can be hard to make new friends, even if they speak your own language!

Q: So how can I find friends who speak English?

A: Well, first of all, remember English speakers are people, just like you! You may find it very difficult if you think, “I am going to go and find an English speaker and become friends to practice my English!”

Just like making friends in your own country, you need to make friends naturally!

Q: How can I meet new people and make friends?

Usually, people make friends with people who have:

  • the same experiences or background
  • the same interests
Example:

  1. Same experiences or background?
    • Maybe you are going to the same school, or work together.
  2. Same interests:
    • Maybe you play the same sport, or like the same kind of music.
Places to meet friends:
  • At work?
  • At school
  • Join a sports club
  • Join a social group, such as a church or youth group
  • Join a volunteer organisation?

Remember: Go somewhere safe to make friends. I don’t recommend you try to make friends in bars and pubs!

Question: Where do you go to make new friends?


Have you made any friends on this site? How did you meet them?
