Recommendations for Swiss German classes in Baden?

Hello there,

I'm looking to sign up very soon for a Swiss German class in the Baden area. I already have a pretty decent handle on High German, but Swiss German is still quite a challenge.

Does anyone have any recommendations or experiences with Swiss German classes? What company did you go through?

What can I expect, taking a Swiss German class? Will a beginner class be too boring, if I already know German? Are there different levels available for Swiss German classes?

Thanks for your help!

Sorry i probably won't be answering you question but just wanted to share my experience.

I learned my Swiss German by speaking to friends, i got very lucky that i clicked with whom is today my best friend, she doesn't speak any English, so we communicated in Swiss, it was the best way to learn.

Never heard of Swiss German courses, but maybe you more likely to find a native Swiss who is willing to do conversation hours with you for a small fee. Learning by doing kinda thing.

Sorry, hope it helps in some way.
