Wie lange dauert ein Schweizerdeutsch-Kurs?
How long does a Swiss German course last?
The duration of such a language course depends greatly on the language school or provider. For example, you can attend short introductory courses in which you learn the most important words and expressions you need to find your way around Switzerland in one or two evenings. Such a Swiss German course is particularly suitable for people who are planning to move to Switzerland, or who have only been in Switzerland for a short time and can hardly understand anything their superiors, colleagues, salespeople or neighbors say. Courses that extend over a longer period of time are suitable for anyone who wants to get to grips with the regional dialect and learn it like any other foreign language. This could be a six-month Swiss German course, for example, in which you take part once a week for 1 or 2 lessons. You decide for yourself how long and how intensively you would like to learn "Schwizerdütsch, Schwiizertüütsch".
