Four languages or English for all?
German, Italian, French, Romansh. Four national languages and yet, when German- and French-speaking Swiss meet, it is not uncommon that they communicate in another language: English.
In our new offer “dialogue”, we have put together a selection of articles on Switzerland’s multilingualism. Enjoy reading them! And join our debate on the question “four languages, or English for all?” afterwards.

With our new offer, called “dialogue”, you can experience news and debate in a new way. Discuss relevant topics – in English or any of the Swiss national languages. We take care of the translation work.
Every week, an editorial team with members from all across Switzerland selects a new topic for you to discuss with other users. You will also learn interesting facts from all regions of Switzerland and will be able to compare where you stand on the respective topic with what others said in our “How are you, Switzerland?” survey earlier this year.
