Decoding Swiss German

Become familiar with the Swiss way of life and culture with typical words, expressions and stories.

Switzerland is home to a large variety of regional dialects, all of which have their own idiosyncrasies of pronunciation and vocabulary. In general, Swiss German tends to omit certain letters and word endings, while merging the remaining speech elements together, making it difficult to detect individual words.

With the help of typical words, phrases and stories, this booklet teaches you to recognize the systematic differences and understand the transformation rules between Swiss German and German, allowing you to make sense of the language.
