About this title

Synopsis

Are you an expat in German-speaking Switzerland but still haven't cracked the Swiss German code? Maybe you are about to take on a job and embark on a new life in the land of cheese and chocolate, or maybe you just love Switzerland and all things Swiss. In any of these cases you will definitely benefit from being able to understand and use the everyday spoken language. With a basic knowledge of Standard German, you will be able to discover the rules of Swiss German (East Swiss dialect) using a minimum of effort. This guide leads you through the rules step by step, giving clear explanations and plenty of example sentences along the way. It draws on the universal categories of grammar common to all languages and goes on logically to lay out the specific rules of Swiss German. The sections are accompanied by exercises and tips on how to learn the material. At the end you will find an extensive verb table covering close to 90 irregular verbs. Use this book to speak with confidence and impress the natives! Also useful as a teacher's guide.
