First of all does anyone know of a good place for an english speaker to learn german in geneva? Your ideas

Second of all before I met my partner I must say I was as guilty as the next person in confusing Switzerland with Sweden, even now I have people back home who comment on living with all the blonds here, but Ive worked out why. Its the swedish chef on the muppets.. I swear he is speaking swiss german

Regarding the above clip, it's not the cook speaking but the background music that could be Swiss.

Maybe Jim Henson was as confused as every other American one else?

Ha ha! I've thought the exact same thing before... not about confusing Switzerland and Sweden, but that Swiss German reminds me of the Swedish Chef.

Ugh... I always thought that high German was an ugly language, but I simply cannot find the words to describe Swiss German... other than ICK.

No no no, that's clearly a Nordic parody... Björk björk björk?

Perhaps not exclusively Swedish, but my own thoughts on the dialects aside, this sounds absolutely nothing like Swiss-German.

It's ALL Swedish Chef to me!
