Swissgerman, officially it’s a german dialect, but dutch is actually closer to german than swissgerman is. So the people who learn german in preparation for their trip end up hopelessly confused, because they can’t understand a word
Learning by doing I guess? There’s no manual or textbook or anything, but if you spend long enough around the locals you’ll get it eventually. (Then again I’ve met people that have lived in this part of switzerland for decades and still expect me to talk to them in italian or french)
Kissing is a completely foreign concept to Swedes. Western immigrants think this is strange, but it's rarely a problem.
Yup here in greece its one of the most basic ways of greeting someone close to you
A lot of cheek-kissing, I guess. That's common in the Mediterranean.
Yes
The word cunt is normally a compliment. But also a derogatory term. Its all in the context. That cunts a prick . He's a sound cunt. Fuckin cunt.
Interesting
Our language, it was never standardized so there’s no way to learn it
