Hi everybody!
It seems a few months since anybody posted in this forum so I'd like to have your feedback about the english speaking °µÍø½ûÇø community in Niger. How strong is it and in which towns are °µÍø½ûÇøs localized?
Hope to hear from you very soon!
Cheers

Hello,

When you consider where English speakers come from they're largely going to fall into the following categories:  UN and foreign government workers(embassy and aid staff, including Peace Corps), NGO staff (CARE International, Catholic World Relief, etc), missionaries and English-speaking Africans, such as the Nigerian community.  There are very few English-speakers, other than neighboring Africans, who are in Niger purely for commercial/business reasons.

For the most part the vast majority of English-speakers are in Niamey and the American Rec Center at the U.S. Embassy is a good place to meet some on a Saturday afternoon.  The next major center of English-speakers might be in Maradi as there's a confluence of NGO and missionary workers there.  Galmi has several dozen missionaries at their hospital, while nearby Birnin Konni has Peace Corpers and a Nigerian community of traders, plus a few NGO satellite offices.  Zinder also has a similar mix of English speakers. 

After these cities, I believe the next rung of regional capitals: Dosso, Diffa, Tillabery and Agadez would have just a smattering of English-speaking °µÍø½ûÇøs.  Perhaps others know of additional communities where English-speakers can be found in significant numbers.
