Study German in Switzerland
If you are planning to travel or work in Switzerland then learning the local languages is recommended. Enrolling yourself in some German classes in the most important thing when you arrive, you need grounding in the language and grammar, as well as trying to learn on the streets in everyday situations. Learning standard German in Switzerland may prove quite difficult though compared to studying German in Germany. In Switzerland they speak a very different form of German that has its own pronunciation and vocabulary, which most Germans find a little difficult to understand. The Swiss speak standard German as well and do it extremely well; however, they learn this in school.
