    Wow! Switzerland Tourism should cut you a big cheque, Andrea! Thank you for taking us on the tour of your beautiful country! There were a few surprises in your line-up - but Geneva takes the cake. 😁 Nobody would anticipate it has an 'm' sound in it. It must be one of those Swiss best kept secrets.

    Definitely recommend joining the Patron group!
    Being a Swiss-American, Andrea’s videos were so helpful to me while in Switzerland.
    Definitely recommend a whole day at Mt. Pilatus. So much to do there. Nearby Luzern is beautiful.
    Lauterbrunnen is Heaven on Earth.

    Thank you for this. I'm a Filipina and I really wanted to learn speaking and pronounce Swiss German because i wanted to communicate well to my Swiss German Boyfriend he doesn't know how to speak english well so maybe it's time for me to know Swiss German language for him. ❤️ I wish your video can help me. Thank you so much!

      @@Loty2023 I didn't end up with particularly interesting tips, but I did enjoy shopping in Bern, Lausanne & St Gallen, the Botanical Garden in Basel, the Lucerne to Pilatus lake cruise, hiking in Wasserrauen, Mt Rigi, trips to Mt Pilatus, Schildthorn, Mt. Titlis. I must say that Lucerne, however lovely, was extremely crowded with tourists in September, as was Lauterbrunnen. In non-peak season, Lucerne might be a better base than Zurich depending on your priorities.

      @Swiss German for Beginners I used to be a "professional " (writing it like that since I never really felt like an actual professional) cosplayer. I would participate in international competitions, be a judge and also make commissioned costumes for others. I stopped before moving to Switzerland, but I still have many friends in the international community. So yeah, that is mostly where I roll 😁
