Thanks, your very nice !
Genava is gorgeous but I dont speak any French and have some German so for sure I will choose a German speaking part.
Might be successful with some job in Zurich, which is lovely!, would love to settle over there! :-)

Welcome to the forum. We can be friendly if treated nicely.
If you do choose Zurich, drop by one of our social events.
(Alemannic still linguistically a dialect of High German, but don't tell anyone that around here: they become violent at the suggestion. But it does seem incomprehensible to speakers of Standard (High) German.)

You cannot be not nice, you spend your private time in educating newcomers :-)
Alemannic German must be German too lol and at least have something from it ;-) so I am sure I will like it too!
Thanks

That may be a linguist's classification, but in popular usage it is considered a dialect of German... call it anything else and you will confuse more people than you will impress.
And no matter what you call it, Swiss German/Schwiizertütsch/Alemannic is much closer to the German the OP knows than either French, Italian or Rumantsch would be - and the written language here is most definitely German - so I think her argument still stands.  Fáilte romhat ar an bhfóram, a evona - welcome to the forum!

Thanks | | | | | Alemannic German is totally different... One of my German friend visited basel last year and just got lost.....
Geneva's nice there's loads of expats speaking english and locals ready to help you to learn French. And expats always organise great activities !!! |

Just don't want to get into the whole thing right now (or, really, ever. I'll call it what the natives here call it, thanks very much.)

No offense Mathnut, but evona may well understand Zuriduutsch quicker than Gaeilge unless she was in Cork quite a long time.
If not she'll soon get it... easier than understanding Corkonian dialect of English any day! 
A big welcome -in all dialects!!
