How to learn Swiss German

Some of our dear students live in Switzerland. And we understand your struggle to understand the Swiss German dialect. Even for native speakers it’t a big challenge to understand it. By the way: Swiss German TV shows are mostly subtitled for Germans :wink:
Here I found a very helpful page to learn Swiss German:

Are there similar pages for our students who struggle with Austrian German?

Some of our dear students who learn German, have even trouble to understand my Swiss accent when I speak German ; )…can´t get rid of it…but I would love to help our students, who live in Switzerland to discover the mysteries of my beautiful mother tongue ; )
Grüetzi, Chuchichäschtli, Schöggeli, Blüemli etc…

I wish you all: Äs schöns Wuchäend :wink:

I understand Swiss German mostly. But when two Swiss friends don’t want me to understand them, they are able to achieve that goal :laughing:
