Re: Swiss German or High German

enav
you'll find that no matter how you perfect your German, if you speak to the Swiss in High German with an obvious hint that your first language is English........then they will reply to you in English.

Quite annoying sometimes; for two months, depending on where you'll be going and what you'll be doing - you won't need any German. I know expats who've been here 5 years and speak almost no German...!
