i tried to teach my german friends a bit of swiss german - it is harder than i thought it would be. for example when i say 'säuli' (a little pig), they understand 'säule' (column), then i have to tell them that this would be 'sülä'. very funny as well was 'herdöpfel' or 'rüebli', or 'gruusig'. but sometimes it is hard to be the only swiss, for example when i say 'ich hab kalt' instead of 'mir ist kalt' - they always laugh :D
