Learning German

This is bloody difficult if you live in Switzerland. All Swiss people will tell you that they speak "high" German. Trust me, they don't. I have tried (semi-) hard to learn, but the problem is when you try to speak, they answer you in "Swiss German". Funny thing is, that Swiss German is not even a recognized language. But it is so different from "high" (proper) German that not even ze Germans understand it.

Not only that. The Swiss (funnily enough, since the country is so small) have dialects...so there is Züri-dütch, Bern-dütch, Basel-dütch and whatever town you can think of -dütch.

And yet, us foreigners are not well looked upon unless we speak their kind of dütch!

Guess I have a kind of love-and-hate relationship with the people in this country.

And yes, yet I have chosen to live here. So, who's fooling who?
