| Today I spoke with a coworker here in Brussels who is from the French part of Switzerland. He told me the following;
1) Swiss Germans do not like High German, they prefer to speak in English with a Native German (not in business, of course, but private).
2) in the French part, on the other hand, they do not like Swiss German,
Who can you confirm this ? Is this right ? | |

I don't know about native Germans but I do know that some of the Swiss-German people I work with would rather speak to me in English than High German.
For number 2 that was my experience when I lived in the French part of Switzerland. The reverse is also true (in my experience).
