Swiss German Module

We offer Swiss German modules at 2 levels. The aim of the modules is to enable you to understand and, should you wish, to speak Swiss-German in everyday situations.

Learning is based on intercomprehension between closely-related languages – the fact that many languages have similarities facilitates the learning of Swiss-German. This is why this module necessitates a knowledge of German at B1 level.

Your knowledge of German will allow you from the outset to understand simple exchanges in Swiss-German. It will also allow you to highlight language structures which are specific to Swiss-German – and this will allow you to understand more complex conversations in various dialects, and to express yourself in Swiss-German.

Les modules ont lieu à raison de 13 semaines par semestre. Si vous souhaitez poursuivre votre formation, il est nécessaire de vous réinscrire chaque fois.
