Swiss German in the Garden

In this week’s Swiss German lesson, we’re heading out into the garden.  Whether you have a backyard, a balcony, or a community garden, this lesson is full of fun and useful vocabulary about planting, growing, and harvesting.

We’ll talk about:

Common vegetables like cucumbers, tomatoes, and asparagus

How to describe your garden (big, small, full of plants)

The word “e Huufe” and how to use it to talk about “a lot” of work, fruit...

On this week’s Swiss German Online LIVE lesson-podcast, host Kathrin Erni takes you on a ride—literally and linguistically—through Zürich’s just-opened Velotunnel. Dug decades ago for a scrapped expressway and finally repurposed in May 2025, this 6-metre-wide, bike-only passage now links Kreis 4 and Kreis 5 beneath the main station.

🔸 What’s Inside

The tunnel’s back-story: from abandoned motorway tube to city-funded cycling corridor after years of grassroots lobbying by Pro Velo Zürich.

A first-person tour of the tunnel’s gentl...

💬 What Does "u guet" Mean in Swiss German?

7 day free trial https://app.swiss-german-online.com/subscriptions

Instead of just "guet" (good), you say "u guet", which means really good or very good — with emotion and emphasis!

👨‍🍳 "Wie isch d'Suppe?"
👩‍🦱 "U guet!"
→ "How’s the soup?"
→ "Sooo good!"

When I was a kid, we didn’t have a TV at home. That meant I spent my time doing other things – crafting, playing outside, hanging out with friends, playing guitar, even reading and drawing. That was just normal. And the internet? That wasn’t even around yet!

But then, when I was in 4th grade, at around 11 years old, something big happened – we got a TV! And wow, that c...
