I learned Hoch Deutsch and later learned to speak Hessen "farmer" German. Whenver I went to Switzerland I really struggled to understand them, though it was dependent on where I was at.

In Basel their not as nutty as other parts. Austrian also kicks my ass sometimes as well.

Schweizerdeutsch, or Swiss German, as GermanSynergy said, sounds funny to people who learn Hochdeutsch, or standard German.

Just about everyone speaks English anyway. Switzerland also has French, Italian, and Romansh as official languages, really depends on whether you're in the northern, eastern, or southern part of the country as to what you'll hear.

Again, just about everyone can understand English.

Switzerland's firearm policies (or lack of to this point, anyways) is how the Founding Fathers intended the US to be. Makes me both elated and yet sad at the same time to see another country with less restrictions than we do.

in some ways..
as i understand it CCW is pretty much a no go in switzerland though.

It varies by Cantons just like it does here in the U.S. You can get one though.

I agree.
