Welcome to the Network of English-Speaking Women!

The Network was founded in 1993 with the goal of providing a forum for communication and exchange between English-speaking women in and around Freiburg, Germany. By putting women in contact with one another and encouraging the exchange of information and experience – both personal and professional – the Network offers fun and informative evenings in a comfortable and relaxed atmosphere.

Our next Meeting - Friday, April 17th, 7:00 pm

‘The Road to Somewhere’

Brenda Arnold is originally from Ohio, in the heart of the Midwestern United States, and has lived for 40 years in Munich, Germany. Her new book, The Road to Somewhere, recounts how a year in Spain inspired her to move to Germany to join her future husband. Her memoir recounts the ups and downs of integrating (or not!) and raising two daughters bilingually. Brenda publishes a blog called Expat Chatter and a podcast by the same name about the ongoing adventure of living abroad, because even after decades in Germany, the sight of a traditional Bavarian village elicits exclamations of delight from her. Brenda says that at least now that her two daughters have moved to Berlin she is spared their dramatic eyerolling in response. “Stop saying that,” they plead. “We’re from here!” But Brenda’s not, and never ceases to find something new and exciting to captivate her!
Brenda will be reading some heartfelt and witty excerpts from her book this evening. Perhaps a number of our Network women can relate to some of Brenda’s adventures!
