Life in Switzerland

[@ktrash1]

Hi there🙋🏼‍♀️ I've always wanted to visit Switzerland. Is there a way you can recommend someone to show me the slopes and mountains?

[@natashareid7005]

I must say this is something! I am a Jamaican living in Las Vegas Nevada and I’ve always seen pictures on Facebook of different parts in Switzerland. And I always say to myself I want to go to Switzerland one day it just looks so beautiful. So I decided to look up videos of what it’s like to live in Switzerland and boom here you are a Jamaican living in Switzerland. I am just head over heels. Your video was the first video that pops up 🤔that leads me to believe that they’re really listening to me😂😂😂🇯🇲🇯🇲🇯🇲🇯🇲 I promise you at first I’m like maybe I should’ve chosen another video, and then I heard your accent and I was like wow she’s a Jamaican😍😍😍. I low-key started cheering in my head😏. Well you definitely gained a subscriber today! Much love Yardie sisters😘😘

[@Amoinew]

thank you so much hun!! it means a lot

[@AmeliaAcres]

I'm a nurse in the United States. Do you mind telling me how much nurses make in Switzerland?

Thank you for your video its very helpful, I am Jamaican and I just started dating a swish guy. So if I ever come to Switzerland I will definitely link up

[@bburg0408]

+Krissy rich *"I am Jamaican and I just started dating a swish guy....*" Oh so you is a diyam JINAL!

[@firandcurly84]

How did you meet him?

[@MrSupervillin]

Mi to, the first Jamaican patty place with some sweet rubber dub.

[@emmab151]

Hi, great video! I just wondered, do you speak the local language? And if so, how hard did you find it to learn? I'm thinking of moving to a German speaking part of Switzerland and have no knowledge of German just yet! Thanks.

[@Amoinew]

yes i do speak german and lucky for me my mother language is english so it was easier for me to learn but it was still difficult. and until this day a bit over five years i still have problem with the 'der, die, das'. German is a difficult language to learn.

[@emmab151]

Thanks! English is my first language too so hopefully should be ok. I like the vibe of switzerland enough to give it a go!

[@hans1993hans]

swiss guy here. we had some exchange students living with us. most of them learned the language quite quickly (1 year without german knowledge before). but i would say this is only true if you live in a family. there are a few difficulties in learning German. 1) it is not necessary to do it, we can speak English. 2) German is difficult. 3) we speak swiss german, we switch to german if needed but normally we automatically switch back to swiss german after a couple of minutes. swiss german is not a written language, so there is no rule how to write things. so texting with swiss germans is difficult in the beginning because every dialect/person has their own writing style. for official documents and letters we will use german. there are not really any books to study swiss german. we do however offer swiss german courses (migros klub schule). this video shows the difference between german and swiss german. dont be scared because of the Valais dialect. Even we struggle sometimes to understand them. most dialect are much closer to the first one. If you can speak german, swiss german is not difficult to learn. it's just really confusing for someone who doesn't know german. watch?v=Gz2S9iggdzM if you want to move to the french or italian part, you will not face this problem. their language is mostly the same as in Italy or in France. And in my experience their english is not as good as ours. so if you really want to learn swiss german you will have to force the people around you not to speak English with you. The easiest way to accomplish this, is moving in with a famaly who has children. This might not be to easy to find but it is possible.

[@franhewling]

I’m Jamaican I went to Switzerland. I fell in love was hoping to find a husband there when I went. I’m praying I can live in Europe someday

[@lamoicarrasco27]

Do you still live in Switzerland? My family and I want to take a trip there before the end of the year? Hopefully

[@Amoinew]

yes i still do, you totally should but just be careful with all this corona still around

[@barbarathegipsysoul598]

How do swiss treat foreigners? I heard that they are not very open and sometimes are intolerant to people from other countries. What is your personal experience on that respect? Thanks

[@Amoinew]

That's a very interesting question.... But like in every country there are persons that are welcoming and others that are not, In Switzerland there are more not so welcoming people that others. It really depends on where you live.

[@barbarathegipsysoul598]

Thank you for reply, I guess its one of cons that is well compensated by the pro's. We will be moving to canton of Vaud. Hopefully our children will be fine and not excluded at school. :) Thanks again for answering

[@Linkario86]

Barbara The Gipsy Soul I can help you out with this question: Switzerland is spoiled with foreigners. There are 25% foreigners. 55% of 6 years old children are foreigners. So don't be surprised if you get treated badly or weird, because we simply have too much foreigners.

[@hfs7274]

Barbara The Gipsy Soul True - but you learn the language and intergrate.

[@bburg0408]

+Goeggi G *"Switzerland is spoiled with foreigners. There are 25% foreigners. 55% of 6 years old children are foreigners. So don't be surprised if you get treated badly or weird, because we simply have too much foreigners."* Yeah but Switzerland's definition of a "foreigner" is fucked up! If the last 10 generations of your family are not Swiss, you're not considered Swiss. That's a slight exaggeration but I'm sure you get the message.

[@masterprophet8378]

What part of Switzerland are you in specifically, Amoinew?

[@dr.nealpsy.d2783]

Hi, do you still reside in Switzerland? I am strongly interested in relocating to Zürich, Switzerland. Do you know if they have any African American Beauty Salons? Thank you.

[@Ramonelly20]

Shoutout from Jamaica. Looking into possibly moving to Switzerland

[@annettebrown178]

I'm a Jamaican living in Italy and i'd like to come there in Switwzerland. I'm searching for a room there! Do you think I can find?

[@Amoinew]

yes of course you can find one room apartments here and you can also just rent a room from other families and stuff.... go on immoscout.ch

[@FAQsofLife]

I'm glad I discovered your channel!! However I missed you mentioning which city/village you live in. As you know the cultures vary a lot from place to place. Being from Kanton Züri, I believe I was brought up differently from an Appenzeller for instance. Thank you

[@Amoinew]

Yeah that's true. I live in Kanton Aargau.

Mi a come lol! You know us Jamaicans go everywhere. Happy to see you happy there!🌸

[@khalila12]

I'm not Jamaican BUT I'm pretty sure they pay pension. (if they choose to pay, but the choice IS available to workers)

[@Amoinew]

i didn't mean that they don't have a choice to pay.... it's just not a normal thing.... like you'd have to go out and research and everything on your own and pay in private for your pension when here in Switzerland it gets take out of your paycheck every month and gets paid into 2 different pension plans...

[@amiyna12]

Hi Thanks for this video.I really wanna leave the Caribbean and pursue a career in Switzerland.I want to visit there for atleast a week.Please respond and advise

[@Amoinew]

If that's what you really want i would say go for it. To leave to the caribbean and come here for only a week is a bit short i would say.

[@ayotalsamoth6867]

[@arielhiggins6772]

Hi Im from Jamaica and interested in living and working in Switzerland. How easy is it for me to get a job in Switzerland as a foreigner?

[@arielhiggins6772]

@Amoinew ^

[@bburg0408]

That depends on your skills, qualifications and/or employment experience. If your area of expertise is in finance or technology, then you've got a really good chance of getting a job there.

[@arielhiggins6772]

Wow! Yes I have a bachelor's in Accounting and Finance and banking. Is there a particular strategy that I can use to apply for a job?

[@arielhiggins6772]

bburg0408 oops I forgot to mention you in my reply above ^

[@bburg0408]

Start by applying for jobs at the 'Big 4' (i.e. Ernst & Young, Deloitte, PwC, and KPMG) Check their Websites and apply for positions you believe you are best suited to. Apply for Internships too. Study their websites so you know what they are about and use that information to explain what you believe you can offer them and why you think you would fit in their corporation. Do the same for the main banks in Switzerland too, e.g. Credit Suisse, UBS etc.

[@EyeBDaMD]

Beautiful.

[@Amoinew]

thanks

[@jeannenicolas1723]

I'm Jamaican too, but the only things I love about Jamaica are these: sun, beaches,, food, music. That's it. Jamaica is a violent place with all types of things that are horrible. The wealthy are corrupt and the govt does nothing for Jamaicans. Did u meet your husband in Jamaica? Europe is old , and that's what I love about Europe. Portugal probably has the most number of Unesco and other protecgted buildings and towns.

[@Amoinew]

thanks for the love Jeanne....... No i met my husband on the internet....

[@teedee6614]

I suggest you travel to the US to buy clothes. Las Vegas has outlet malls with designer clothing at cheap rates. Also try Minnesota's Mall of America because there is no tax.

[@winsomeg1124]

Thank you for the info... I think I'm obsessed with Switzerland. I'm a nature buff who is in love with the Natural beauty of Switzerland. I would LOVE to visit one day. IF I really LOVE it, then maybe I'd move there. LOL I'm originally from Jamaica, living in USA. I've honestly had ENOUGH of America, thinking of moving elsewhere.

[@nat-zn3zs]

Tom T You and your other little racist compeers turned this comment section into a shithole. You are so afraid of seeing black people thriving because you can’t put us in a “savage” box anymore. You blame your own failures on us, and take out your repressed imbecilic anger on a positivity-radiating comment complimenting the beauty of the Swiss landscape. Do you have any other interests, besides criticizing anyone who doesn’t look like you? Must be a miserable, sorrowful life you’re living.

[@nat-zn3zs]

Tom T First of all, your statement does not make any sense... Donald Trump is being labeled a racist for calling a bunch of Black countries “shitholes”... Not comparable to what I said, sorry friend. Also, by “racist invasion” do you mean the exact thing europeans have done to africans for centuries? Now that Black people can move on to more opportunity abundant territories you’re upset? Even if they can do it legally and ethically? You, sir, are a hypocrite. My parents are Ghana-originating Canadian citizens. I live on both costs, which are both very multicultural. We’re in a developed country, and are now thriving economically, more than we could ever be in beautiful but colonization-scarred Ghana. Our “invasion” is going great, if you ask me. Boo! I’m so vicious! Lastly, I’ve seen you comment on this video at least 5 times... How are your several other interests doing? :)

[@romandarius6041]

Winsome----stop coming to white countries. You blacks have over 50 countries, and we whites are not welcomed in there. We don't want to be multicultural with you.

Dear foreigners. Please don't come to Switzerland. We already have over 25% foreigners. Most are Italian (they helped building Gotthart so they're cool) German and Portuguese. So don't be surprise if we're a bit racist, cause we have one of the highest amount of foreigners world wide. That's why we had a voting for limiting immigration.
