Swiss German: Answering some more questions

[halfjklee]

Oh and if your interested I've started a lil series on Pennsilfaanische Deitsch. Kinda inspired by ur vids and I get credit for it in school, but I'm trying a different approach. So far I'm not so pleased with how they've turned out but I got some cool ideas for the future of 'my Deitsch' series once I get used to makin vids, check it out out. thanx again I love learning german dialekts and I think you've done the best job I've found on the net so far, keep up good work:O) Cheers from PA

I've watched all your vids n think I'm ready 4' mei naechste reise na der schweiz' lol.1 of my fav pep in the world is a friend from Vorarlberg Austria, 'Aer wohnt in Feldkirch an d grenz' He studys in Wien and says pep can't understand him. 'Awwer aer sagt sei dialekt glei wi schwyiz isch?'' I've traveled with him more times than I can remember into switzerland and although' I ha ganz weni verstanden, aer hat ke problem mit dei dialekt' In ur opinion how does Vorarlbergisch compare to zurich?

[MrTheLionKing86]

by the way I was also wondering... what kind of accent does Michelle Hunziker have? more Swiss or German? :)

[taranakiNZL]

@MrTheLionKing86 well, you notice that she didn't grow up speaking Swiss German... so it's probably somewhere in the middle :)

[Maryangel24]

@taranakiNZL actually, i find her bernese to be pretty good :)

[MrTheLionKing86]

@taranakiNZL well she did grow up speaking Swiss German... she only moved to Italy when she was 16...

[Maryangel24]

@MrTheLionKing86 she speaks both languages, swiss german and german. (i call them languages, haha). her SG accent is bernese :)

[MrTheLionKing86]

@Maryangel24 thanks for that girl :) and yeah i would call them languages too :) oh and, as usual, you rock! :)

[Maryangel24]

@MrTheLionKing86 aww haha, cheers :))

[halfjklee]

@Maryangel24 haha u say ''bitte gärn gscheh'' thats so cool cause we say in penssylvaanische instead of HG Danke Schon we say - gern scheene /machts geud.....thanks your vids are very informative

[racciolo]

THANK YOU SOOOOO MUCH!!! Still haven't had the chance to put my (I'm sure hilarious) swiss german into practice! But will let you know how it goes when I do! :)

Dankäschön!!!

[Maryangel24]

@racciolo hehe, bitte gärn gscheh :D

and shush, i'm sure your SG will be just fine! good luck practicing :)

[jitenkthakkar]

@Maryangel24 merci vilmal for responding.By simplified i meant there just 3 tenses as compared to the many tenses german has.

[Maryangel24]

@jitenkthakkar that is true, tense-wise, swiss german is much "simpler" than high german. i just thought you meant the whole language, but yeh, you're right :)

[helow98]

awe.. but School French... it must be awesome to hear you speak it the French school way :) On the other hand, I'm quite hopeless at pronouncing all you said... (dang French lol)

[Maryangel24]

@helow98 haha, i will say something in french next time ;)

lol, yeh, you don't have all these sounds in french, so i don't expect you to be able to pronounce them properly, haha <3

[helow98]

@Maryangel24 LOL... yes... indeed. Somewhat sounds of the Pacific islands are easier for my grasp :)

[jitenkthakkar]

since i already now hochdeutsch it is quite easy to learn swiss german.i belueve swiss german is much simplified form of german but it acctually it sounds a lot different than hoch deutsch

[Maryangel24]

@jitenkthakkar i don't think "simplified form" cuts it really. SG has its own partly quite complex syntax. i'd say that they are related, like spanish and portuguese are, but they are different languages. i wouldn't call either of them simplified :)

[MrTheLionKing86]

i love your videos.... great job :))))))

[Maryangel24]

@MrTheLionKing86 aww thank you very much!! :)

[surferstapleton]
