living in Southampton

A few months ago, i decided to improve my English so that i looked up a course here in Southampton. it is the first time i have been here and I got here last week. it is as hard (difficult is better) an experience as i thought (it would be). At the moment, i am in the intermediate level, though my speaking and listening is not very good enough. Even so, i feel a bit blue (ok word, but a better one maybe sad) because i haven´t still made friends, i have many classmates though, who are much younger than me and i don´t live close to others. I would like to spend more time with British people because i want to know about the British culture and just not meeting people who are learning Spanish as well. i don´t know if there is a place where people meet one another to practice both languages. Maybe, i should ask that question in my college. Whatever * i hope i have a great time during the next five months.
*- whatever yes in USA people use the word in this manner, it is well placed here. Nicely done

blue (for sad) sort of colloquial in rural USA, a bit antiquated
That is all for now from Southampton.
