We are hoping to move to Switzerland during the course of this year. My 13-year old daughter is quite anxious to know what life is like in Switzerland. Does anyone have a 13- or 14-year old daughter who would share opinions & her point of view on life in Switzerland?
Hi,

I just moved here from New Zealand 6 weeks ago, with 3 x girls (10 and under), and they didn't speak German before they arrived.

They are enjoying it here and are learning the language with enthusiasm.

The school system puts them in special German-for-foreigners school classes first, and their teacher expects that they will attend normal school after only 6 months of language lessons.

PS: we're just outside Zurich, in Winterthur.
