Don't worry, the Germans in Switzerland have the same problem :) They
all come to this country thinking the Swiss speak German...  we do
write in German since the dialects don't have any officially written
version, but with 26 cantons you can bet there are almost as many
different dialects, together with French, Italian and Romantsch (the
latter having a written language nobody speaks, but they talk in at
least 5 different dialects).

So no worries, even when spoken slowly I bet you would understand as
much from the Swiss German dialects than the average German does*,
which is close to nothing if you are new to this country :) German is
great, but speaking English is fine as well, so is French, which is
understood and spoken quite well, especially in Bern which is in the
Western part and a bilingual canton. Think again, I seem to remember
that Ade didn't use much German last time in Winterthur either.


Regards, Myriam

who understand us
