I have enjoyed watching this film and reviewing the dialog with this book. These guys (Fuchs and Schreier) have also published another book that is also a lot of fun. It's title is
Züritüütsch isch aifach schön (Zurich German is simply beautiful), and just like
Die Schweizermacher, it contains the German and English translations of many of the songs by the popular Swiss children's group called
Schtärneföifi:

While the music of Schtärneföifi is supposedly for kids, it's still great entertainment for "big kids" and it makes learning the language much more fun than it might otherwise be. These are first class musicians and the writing is very clever. The Schtärneföifi CDs can be purchased at:

Note that their latest album ("Zvorderscht i de Loki") is the only one
NOT covered by the book.
Cheers,
