How to make new friends? 10 points?
Hi all, I am an Italian girl, im 23 years old, and I'm transferring to reading in the uk. I move on alone, and would like to know a way to make friends with young english people to practice the language.
There are sites or groups on facebook where I can get in touch with young people residing in reading? Many thanks

Social sites are good but I've found the most effective way to meet new people is by casual conversation, coffee shops, school, ect. Also if you have any hobbies, find others that share your same interests. I used to play pool a lot when I was younger and I've made several life long friendships that started with a simple game of pool. Hope this helps and good luck.
