Its about accurate, but still, its blick lmao. They are always heavy on Zürich support.

Blick is not unbiased, their Redaktion is in Zürich. I agree that Basel would fulfill all minimum requirements.

I also find it fascinating how often I hear English on the streets, it has been so easy for me to communicate everywhere

In Zürich, Kanton Zug and Geneva English is massively heard, it had a cometlike surge in the past 20 years. The big difference between Switzerland and Austria/Germany/France/Italy is, is that English is truly much more used and spoken in SWI. Increasingly, Swiss German is replaced by English as working language which will lead to identitiy conflicts in future.

wait, there’s a big difference between Swiss German and standard German?? 

Yes, Swiss German differs greatly in words, grammar and intonation from Standard German (Hochdeutsch / High German). Greatly, not extremely. Almost every Kanton (federal state) has its own Swiss German, there are about a dozen main idioms. Pupils in Romandie (French-speaking part) are demotivated from learning (High) German because what they learn at school, is not what they can understand when they are in Bern listening to people's conversations - but maybe they don't want to learn German at all and look for a good pretext, after all pupils in France don't like to learn German either.

Often, not always, Swiss German and Hochdeutsche words have same word roots and are therefore deducible in common meaning. Personally, I think those who speak perfect High German will understand Swiss German, too, because the meaning of a sentence can be guessed by looking for a similair word and its meaning. It takes an effort, though.

For decades Swiss German was very different. A recent change is taking place. Swiss youth is using increasingly High Germanized Swiss German because of their media consumption mainly being in High German.

Historically, German had many local varities that eroded and merged into High German, while Alemannic (which is Swiss German) remained in Switzerland because as a souvereign country it preserved it. Alemannic is also the most distinct compared to other varieties.

that is so interesting and informative, omg! thank you so much! i've had no idea that there is a great difference between Standard German and Swiss German.  i've been thinking about getting back into learning German, so I was curious about how similar the languages are, since I love all German speaking countries!
