So apparently Swiss German is whole other language. Damn!

I really like easy German, their videos are really useful especially when they go to places other than Berlin and show regional dialects

“Natel” is actually an abbreviation of “Nationales AutoTELefon” from back when car telephones were a thing.

This is pretty awesome. The German subtitles really help, but it would be great if I could slow it down a bit!

Bitte beachten: Der hässliche Zürcher Dialekt ist nicht repräsentativ für unsere Schweizer Dialekte ;p

By the way: Switzerland not only has quite a few French influences because of the French part. It's also that Germany lost some of that influences they used to have because they wanted to "purify" the language back in the times where nationalism was a big thing.

Afaik "Bürgersteig" is a good example... that word was created in the 19th century as a replacement for "Trottoir". Before that the Germans used the French word Trottoir as the Swiss German speaking still do today.

It seems like learning genders would be easier in Swiss German when the articles are smashed into the nouns like that.
