Hi Mark,

Interesting question, but I think the second answer choice is a bit harshly written - "Since foreigners live in Switzerland they should be forced to understand Swiss German" - Personally, I speak high german and made the effort to at least understand swiss german, which has made life here much, much easier! As far as being forced to learn a language...well, I think that is an individual decision - but one made knowing the advantages and disadvantages of conversing in the local language.
