Do you really need to learn Swiss German? “You don’t need it.” “It’s impossible.” “There are too many dialects anyway.”
You’ve probably heard all of this before — but how true is it really? In this episode, I explain why understanding and speaking Swiss German matters.
Transcripts: The Swiss German transcript of every episode was written by myself, by hand — because no software can truly capture the beauty of the dialect. Get it here (swissgermanbeginners-shop.fourthwall.com/colle…).
