Re: What have you earned by learning the local language ?

Since you moved in Switzerland, what have you *earned* by learning the local language ?

I understood the sentence as what have you gained not how have your wages increased. Maybe I am wrong:-)
There are not too many countries in the world, where you can go and work and not speak the local language.
Maybe you can work here in some firms, because most of the staff speak English anyhow but it does not make one feel part of the country.
