Transcript Episode 18 - I Learned German... Why Can't I Understand Swiss German?

Why can Swiss German feel so difficult to understand at first — even for native German speakers. I talk about the biggest challenges learners face, from pronunciation and speed to the many different Swiss dialects.

If Swiss German still sounds like one big wall of noise, this episode is for you.
