Swiss German

One of the funny things about living in Switzerland is that people speak a very strong dialect of German, actually, several very strong dialects of German. Almost every valley seems to have its own particular version. The German we learn in school is High German, and so sometimes people here mistake me for being from Germany - which makes my German friends really laugh ... they say I speak with a Swiss accent!
