merde, there goes my fantasy of combining MTB & hiking with German language training
I guess you can't have both ends, is Zuerich MTB friendly, that is, does it offer any MTB activities at all (It is surrrounded by mountains isn't it)?
and would you know if their "High-German" is any different than the Standard "High-German" spoken in Germany (after all Hoch Deutsch's supposed to be standard, as oppose to all the local dialects)
Thanks,
