| The multilingual aspect of the country is one of the interesting things to me about Switzerland. I guess Switzerland does not have one official language, but perhaps each Canton does(?). | |

Switzerland has four official languages:
- German (the standard one)
- French
- Italian
- Rumantsch
English is the most common non-official language. I know plenty of people surviving easily with English alone (in Zurich), so you do not need to worry too much. In principle it makes sense to first decide which part you want to live in and then either learn German, French or Italian.
