Moving to Reunion soon as a non-French Speaker

B
#1

Hi everyone,


I am Barnana and I will be moving to Reunion soon with my partner. It is a move that will help me understand the island and its culture better. However, it is also quite daunting for me since I know no one there, other than my partner who was born on the island.


I am a Content Manager and a photographer by passion. I am originally from India and I have been living in Paris since 2021 for my Master. Now that we want to take a step forward in the relationship, I want to accompany my partner to Reunion.


It would be great if I could have my own group of people there. I am a bit shy and take some tome to open up, but I do love good music, talk about movies, books, and art, and I also like to hang out with like-minded people.


If there are any opportunities to meet English-speaking expats here, I will be more than happy to join.

@Barnana Hemoprava Sarkar Hello and welcome on board !


Thank you for taking the time to introduce yourself.


I think you'll be able to easily adapt as you are not alone. Your boyfriend will be there and his family as well !


You will find there are many people of Indian descent in R茅union Island, but they are french/creole speaking. As soon as you start learning/talking a little bit of creole and french, I have no doubt you will easily make sone friends.


Do you plan to look for a job ?

@Bhavna Hey thank you so much. It is really encouraging to know that I can have a life there. I already have a job as I work as a Freelance Content Manager. I do need to learn the language. Are there any French-speaking classes in Reunion?

Where will you be located ?


L'Alliance Fran莽aise (St Denis) offers short language聽 courses but depending on the region you will be located, you might find some language classes as well by local tutors.

Hi @Barnana Hemoprava Sarkar

I'm Franco-Indian and have been living here for 2 years, after many years in Paris.

We could meet up! Where will you be located?

Which part of India are you from? Cause here, people are from Tamil descent and culturally very different from modern India. It's also sometimes confusing when you see someone who looks Indian but to whom you can only speak French, but you'll get used to it! 1f602.svg1f602.svg I do recommend you start learning French though.

Looking forward to meeting you.
