  3. It’s very different. It’s more like comparing BBC English with a dialect like Glaswegian or Scouse. They have alot of different words and phrases and even Germans find it difficult to understand.

  8. I line up with Hilmar though I am originally from ‘North Germany’ . Dutch is another language so I would understand some words only but I do understand ‘Swiss German ‘ perfectly and yes I do travel there at least once a year.
