I’m a writer living in Switzerland. I’ve published several short stories in Anthologies and literary journal. I write my stories in German – my mother tongue. Nevertheless this blog is held in English and on rare occasions in French.

Switzerland, eh? That explains why that ‘weed’ – Convolvulus – looks so pretty and benign!
PS My oldest friend lives in Turbenthal – I’ve been visiting since 1972 – so I do have a bit of a soft spot for you Swiss:)

Thank you, but I can’t take credit being swiss, because I’m relocated from Germany (that also explains my poor English). If I was swiss I could speak proper french by now and I would know where Turbenthal is and I could ski…

Oh, a total failure as a Swiss!!!

Far from every Swiss german speaks proper French, and the other way around neither. Some do, but they are an exception.
Welcome to a land of deep cultural differences, but nevertheless keeping its national cohesion.
Greeting from the French speaking part

Thank you, madman.
French is such a hard language. One day I think I got it know, the next day is like I have to start again, …
Yes, I’ve already meet the deep cultural differences of swiss people which suprises me everytime anew. I hadn’t expected that…

It’s a pity I can not read German. Never-the-less glad you read and write in English!
Thanks for visiting my blog.

I never guessed English wasn’t your first language. Are you anywhere near Zurich? I was there recently and wrote http://mrscarmichael.wordpress.com/2012/11/09/i-don't-like-the-smell-of-antipasti-or-swiss-food-for-thought/ on my eating experience one Friday. I have to say I struggled to understand anything that was said to me that day except perhaps ‘Merci’ which is neither german nor SD.
December 3, 2012 at 15:09
Thanks. I do my best and hope it is readable. No, I’ve never been to Zurich (what a shame). I live in French speaking part of Valais, so I don’t have any practice in Swizerdütsch, but I get if it is not too hard because I come from the south of Germany.

Have you considered a bi-lingual blog – zweisprachig – that could be fun to play around with. Was meinst du?
May 1, 2013 at 10:26
Hi Annette,
es ist schön, dass du mein blog gefunden hast. Ab und an schreibe ich post in Französisch – das hilft mir beim lernen. Aber Deutsch habe ich nicht vor zu posten.

Whatever lifts your spirits and delights your soul – it’s all a form of Deep Play (Diane Ackerman’s term for what we are doing).

Thanks, that is a nice quote.
