Please do a vid on common Swiss idioms! I love Swiss idioms: “Er schaut die ruebbli vo uuna an.” LOL!

[@TeacherClau]

I loveee your videos! In Costa rica "squirrel" is ardilla :)

[@FeelinTravel]

I am currently living in Zurich and here people are very kind and most people speak English with me because I don't know Swiss German. You are an amazing teacher.! In Turkish, we say Sincap for Squirrel.

*Squirrel* is *Gulahri (گلہری)* in my language, which is URDU, one of the two official languages of Pakistan 🇵🇰. Lots of love from Pakistan 💜 You're really helping a lot of people out here who are trying to learn Swiss German. THANK YOU, and congratulations 🎊 for a new subscriber.

Your amazing thank you teacher hope I can speak Swiss German in future

[@claudias.3569]

I learned eichhörnli when I was little! (when I was a "bibeli" as my parents would say). For animals, I learned the Swiss-German words first before the English ones, such as vögeli and of course Himmälgüügäli. In fact, even though I'm barely conversational in Swiss German, I'll still automatically say the Swiss-German words first! In French, squirrel is still difficult to pronounce! (écureuil... in every language that's a hard word!) When I was teaching English in France, I'd love to hear my students say squirrel and see them try to make the right sound

[@SwissGermanBeginners]

Thank you so much for this, Claudia! Yes, squirrel and also écureuil indeed are difficult to pronounce haha. So nice that the Swiss German words come to your mind first!

[@elenapirogova4442]

Danke, merci, Andrea.These are my first steps in Swiss German. In Russian squirrel is "belochka" and in Latvian "vāverīte". Informal way of 2 words greeting in Russian is "vsem privet", which also means "Hello (privet), everybody (vsem)".

[@marlenerose7326]

Hoi, how do you know her name ?

😄 danke Marcus!

[@franklimacher7382]

I grew up hearing, and using, most of these "slang" words. However, several have appeared only since around 1970's. "Mega fein" has appeared only since 2000. In California we have imported Red Squirrels (from eastern USA). In Swiss, these are Eicher if they are adults, in my younger days my parents called them Eicherli if young (or small). An "eichornli' was an acorn, food for the Eicher. I am accustomed to a slightly different version of "pressant"... I mus pressiere !, or... Mir muissied pressiere !. The plural of "Pass uf !", I learned as "Passied uf !" (a long "E" sound, rather than short "e") Or perhaps its just the Zugger dialect...? In a hurry? "Ih mues pressiere !..." plural, "Wir mund pressiere !..." "Adee mitenand", if you are toward the west can be pronounced with the French "Adieu mitenand" That's all for now.... Bis bald ! (until later...)

[@SwissGermanBeginners]

Thank you for adding your knowledge, Frank! Very useful!

[@ReidunOvrebo-ek7ij]

Ekorn is the term in Norwegian

[@TheKalash]

Adee is also used in southern Germany.

[@bryanperez9648]

Squirrel is Ardilla in spanish. But two L's besides each other makes a "J" sound. So it's pronunced as "Ardi-ja"

[@randyhunsuckerhunziker]

In just 113 more days I get to try out what I’ve learned!! Merci!!!!!

[@SwissGermanBeginners]

Awesome 😃🙌 will you go to Zurich? Just because of the differences in dialects.

[@randyhunsuckerhunziker]

@@SwissGermanBeginners in Zurich the first day and last 2 days. Few days in Lucerne. Most days in Lauterburren. Couple days in Bern. Decided to just stick to Zurich dialect and hope for the best! If they think I’m from Zurich that would be funny.

Squirrel is wiewiórka in Polish

[@liviathemalazanpotatonoob5014]

In Romanian, squirrel is VEVERIȚA. You read it vé-ve-ri-tza, with the accent on the first syllable (v is read like in English, not German). It is actually a very cute and easy word. Edit: It is actually one of the very few words preserved from the ancient language spoken by the Thracians/Dacians who lived in what is Romania now before the Roman Empire conquered.

[@SwissGermanBeginners]

Wow thank you for this interesting fact, Livia! Love it 😍

[@matejvana2123]

in slovak veverica

[@tomasohaodha6052]

In Irish(Gaelic), squirrel is 'iora', 'iora rua/glás' = red/grey squirrel. Red squirrel are native to Ireland, but greys came in from the US a few decades ago and are the more dominant species now, although the reds are making a comeback in certain areas thanks to conservation efforts. :)

[@SwissGermanBeginners]

Oh wonderful story! Yes I heard about that. I love Gaelic 🥰

[@grafinvonhohenembs]

In Austria, whenever people ask to hear something in dialect, the first thing people always seem to say is: Oachkatzlschwoaf (Eichhörnchenschwanz). Of course, each dialect may have a slightly different pronunciation, but that is, I suppose, the "Chuchikästli" of Austria. :P

[@SwissGermanBeginners]

Ahh how cool! Thank you for sharing! Omg it seems like such a difficult word 😅

[@shkelzeen_ahmeti]

how would you say “ the best couple ever” in swiss german!! ur the best🤗🤗🤗

[@JorgeMendozaMusica]

What TV shows, movies, music, articles, YT channels or books in Swiss German can you recommend? Since there are not many media through which one can get to know this language, I was hoping if you could give us some resources, please. 🙏🙏

[@SwissGermanBeginners]

I've made a video about the best movies to watch: kzbin.info/www/bejne/rYLZhIx5ZtlmZrs You can listen to the musician Bligg for example. There aren't many YT channels nor books unfortunately. But I'm working on that, too. :)

[@kikithedisneyfan5607]

Hi Andrea, I have a question. Once I’m fluent in German can say it is my native language although I would have learned it??

[@SwissGermanBeginners]

Native language is the language you grew up with.. so I don't think you could call yourself being a native German speaker.

[@Meaguitar]

In Zürich onde I herd "jara uff" what does it means. Is something like go up time to sleep

[@SwissGermanBeginners]

Mm I honestly can't think of anything.. 🤔

[@wayfarer639]

In Zuri dutsch, I have heard "her uff" used in the sense of " be quiet", "get away!" , " go on" perhaps "shut up!".
