She's speaking Swiss Standard German, not to be confused with Swiss German.

[@armd_n_rdy]

she's actually speaking high German and mixing in a few Swiss German expressions. When she speaks you can tell she's Swiss.

[@Slithermotion]

@armd_n_rdyswiss standard german is the precise definition of it. „High german“ has in linguistic teaching a different meaning and covers every middle and upper german dialect including all standard german variations.

[@Kyr082]

So let's say it's dictionary German spoken with a strong Swiss-German accent.

[@Slithermotion]

@@Kyr082 swiss standard german has in some cases a different vocabulary then then standard german in germany. German is a pluricentric language, switzerland has just a different variation. In theory german doesn‘t have an official spelling standard but germany uses de facto the „Bühnendeutsch“ and maybe think of everything else as an accent. Some germans even have problems understanding swiss standard german…which is a bit sad.

[@Kyr082]

@@Slithermotion Thank you very much for the details I didn't know. I'm a french-speaking Swiss, I speak Swiss-German quite well and without too much of an accent because I grew up with it, thanks to my mother who comes from Basel, and I've been working for several years in a Bernese German-speaking company.. and I had a German girlfriend. I'm always a little ashamed when I watch a Swiss-German politician speaking good German on the international stage 😅

[@kaipeter4409]

She speaks German but with a swiss accent!

[@Lifree-e8x]

The pronounciation of Gschtaad: It might be confusing because it is (like a lot of other words in that region) just one vocal sound and the other letters are consonants. So there isn't Geschtaad/ Gestaad.

[@stephaniechbakingtraveler4262]

She spoke high german because DW(Deutsche Welle) is a german yt channel. I live in Basel for 13 years now and i speak High German, Swiss german, English and learning french at the moment. I still have a 3 languages from my foreign home country Philippines and i still speak it until now. Being linguistic is an advantage.

[@BlackLittleMonster]

Pleas make a reaction about switzerlands folks feasts. We have soo many reginal feasts like fasnacht or chlausjagen.

[@Aurirang]

Would also love to see his reaction to traditional Swiss sports like Schwingen and Hornussen. :D (Especially Hornussen)

[@pamela8592]

love your videos😍🥰

[@foreignreacts]

Thanks for watching 😁

[@tomofthailand9047]

She speaks High German its very different from SwisGerman.Im living in Basel for almost 28 year still dont understand SwissGerman but high German is better for me and her accent i can tell this is Swiss accent not from main land Germany.

[@airo30]

Living in Basel for 28 years and not speaking the local language is a very hard take, mate...

[@sagittariusa9012]

@@airo30 yep.

[@foreignreacts]

That’s actually crazy They’re that different?

[@airo30]

@@foreignreacts Yes. Most Germans don't understand Swiss German. Not even Swiss understand each Swiss, because Switzerland has like 30+ different dialects.

[@TheBown1]

So you live in Basel for 28 years and still don't understand swiss german?

[@e.s.7272]

There are three forms of German in Switzerland: Standard German (Hochdeutsch/High German), Swiss German (Mundart), and Swiss Standard German. Swiss Standard German is High German with Swiss vocabulary and its own sentence structure. It is often spoken when Swiss people talk to Germans or need to use High German.

[@PhilippeNoth]

I submitted a suggestion regarding the waterways, known as "bisses" in the French-speaking regions and "Suonen" in the German-speaking regions. These centuries-old canals offer delightful strolls and provide a strong sense of history.

[@hobby2547]

Fun Fact Almost everyone in Switzerland speaks at least 3 languages, as German, English and French are mandatory in school.

[@foreignreacts]

Wow that’s impressive

[@Blacksolger]

Well in my state (Graubünden) it is mandatory to learn German, English and Italian in school.

[@hobby2547]

@@BlacksolgerYes, that is correct. I forgot to add that it depends on where exactly you live. I think it differes in Valais and Ticino.

[@Gugus87]

Swiss german is only a spoken language. Our formal language is german. She is speaking german but u can hear her swiss accent. At min 9 when she is at the desk in the hotel she spoke swiss german

[@airo30]

@@Gugus87 Das isch vilicht mal e gsprochni Sprach gsi... Isch aber scho lang nümme nur e gsprochni Sprach. Isch hützutags sehr schriftlich.

[@Slithermotion]

Swiss german is the best and worst example of a diglossia. It is the main language but has an equal social status to standard german. It‘s not only a spoken language but the written variations are not standadized.

[@Aurirang]

Fun fact: The Basel Swiss german actually has a dictionary and rulesets.

[@airo30]

@@Aurirang There's a dictionary for Swiss German. idiotikon.ch

[@airo30]

There's a wikipedia in Alemanic dialects, which Swiss German is a part of.

[@swiss_jongdaexsoondingie]

Impressive young lady! I was one of those who preferred a good party... Some... 😂 Thank God i still turned into something 😅

[@kilteddwarf]

She speaks is speaking german… just with some accent, because well, swiss german has a lot of differences to german, while also being similar -> so it’s almost impossible for us to not have a really hard accent…

[@markustoma2143]

She speaks German (not Swiss German in this clip), but with Swiss accent. Bachelor full time = 3 years 180 ETCS = 30*180 h = 5400 h so 60 ETCS / year Part time approx. 45 ETCS/year Greatings from Winterthur

[@daizyraizy1667]

That was Swiss German for saying you’re rich without saying that you’re rich, hope that helps 😂

[@pamela8592]

3:39 🤣🤣 me too

[@helenwhite6838]

Like for switzerland! 🤗

[@Etothe2iPi]

It's gshtaad (no space or glottal stop between the letter). The a's are like in barn, but longer. Listen to her 1:21 or 1:57. Of course she speaks German with perfect grammar, but a Swiss accent. Why would you listen to the English speaker at 1:32 who pronounces it completely wrong?!

[@kilteddwarf]

Knowing 4 languages is normal in switzerland, many of us know more than 4…

[@Aurirang]

And then there's me.. with Swiss german (and german obviously), English and very broken french. :D I can read Mathematics though, if that counts?

[@kennystillalive7119]

You should chevk out jetlagged hide and seek through Switzerland

[@Aldebaran77744]

It calls "Gschtaad" my friend 🙂

[@markvondach3617]

Home sweet home Well, not her place but grew up close by And don't listen to the pronanciation of the english speaker.... listen to her on how to prononce the nam of Gstaad

[@RetoHartinger]

list how she pronounces it, she is swiss not to the foreigner. She speaks german with a swiss accent.

[@ursthuer]

Living in Gstaad 😂 if you are a rich person why not or you working in tourist sector with a big salary 6000 swiss franks up including big tips from millionaires

[@mikebrown1881]

It is « Gshtat » not « Geshtat » 😉

[@cardaveux]

Gstaad is very boring i've been there once. It's located in Simmental Valley of Simmen.

[@High_Hopes-d8v]

Well, that depends on your expectations. It can also be very interesting for others. ✌️

[@pilma1837]

I find it exciting to claim that Gstaadt is in the Simmental 🤭

[@cardaveux]

@@pilma1837 From Wimmis beginning of Simmental to Gstaad it's around 48 kilometers so a quite a long valley!

[@benjaminwalker353]

please watch switzerland second lol
