Hello and saluti dalla Grecia.

English please

I started learning French, and I am absolutely kicking myself because I seem to have found myself in a group where everyone speaks italian. And it is the nicest language.

Why are you learning French? Planning a strike?

Was I naive to believe that almost all Swiss had a mastery of German, French and Italian from the very start ?

No, that is fairly accurate, I moved here from Australia in my 20s, so I am playing catch up. Most people here have at least 3 languages under their belt.

So, I imagine that Schwyzerdütsch is your first language in Switzerland.

Geez, even as a native German speaker, I have to REALLY intensively concentrate in order to understand the basic content of conversations in Schwyzerdütsch.

Italian is relatively rare, at least in the German part, in Grisons and in the French part Italian is indeed very common.

I learned German,English and French, 3 languages are indeed normal.

Not learning Italian in the school is something I do regret a little bit.

But If you know French, learning Italian isn’t to difficult, may be I’ll add it eventually.

It is in the German part, and there are even different Schwyzerdütsch, Basle is different to Lucerne and If you’re in Berne good luck trying to understand what he says.

Zurich is again a different story however If you’re from basle or Lucerne you can understand it very well.

In Grisons there’s a 4th language, called Romansh, that’s a completely different animal.

Kardashian grey on grey. The Brabus belongs in Germany. In the UK, that engine would be an utter waste. Not enough places to exploit it.

Brabus has become almost normal looking ever since Mansory came to be....
