🧽🎙️ “Swiss Clean Talk: From Mopping Floors to Mastering Dialects” 🇨🇭🗣️

At  www.app.swiss-german-online.com/home , we’re cooking up something fresh for our next live lesson – coming at you Monday evening (Swiss German) and Tuesday evening (High German)! 💥

That’s right – we’re brainstorming our next story, and this time, it’s all about... CLEANING 🧽✨. Inspired by one of our awesome course participants who works with Spitex and needs to chat about cleaning at work – we're turning everyday talk into real Swiss German practice!

But now we need YOU:
👉 Should it be a spring cleaning story – decluttering, organizing, deep scrubbing?
👉 Or a moving-out cleaning drama – the final clean-up before handing the keys to that picky landlord?

We’re still deciding – the final story will be ready by Saturday or Sunday evening, so keep your eyes open!

And Monday? We’re going LIVE in our VIP Swiss German course 🎉

Wanna test the course? Join us for a free 7-day trial – try it out, talk with real people, and level up your Swiss German like a boss. 😎

👉 Check it all out at https://www.swiss-german-online.com/app.html 
Let’s learn, laugh, and clean (yes, clean!) together.

See you Monday! Missin' you already 🧡

Let's Learn Swiss German – My TV Adventures & Why I Hardly Watch Anymore!

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 changed everything.

 

Before, I was always busy doing things. But once we had a TV, I started spending more and more time glued to the screen. We didn’t even have that many channels, but once I sat down – maybe just to watch the news with my dad – I couldn’t stop. It was like a trap.

 

Nowadays, people talk about social media addiction, but back then, TV was already a problem! I found myself watching more and more, sleeping less, and wasting hours flipping through channels. During the week, I was fine – I had school, homework, guitar lessons, and activities that kept me busy. But on Friday and Saturday evenings, it was the worst. Instead of going to bed early, I’d stay up watching TV until I was completely exhausted.

 

Even today, moving images still have a hypnotic effect on me. If my kids are watching a bedtime story on TV, I find myself sitting down with them! Maybe it's just an excuse to take a break. 😊 And honestly, modern films and TV shows are designed to grab your attention even more than before – flashing lights, fast-moving scenes, everything designed to keep you hooked.

 

So, if you compare today’s movies and TV with those from the past, it’s on a whole new level. Have you noticed that too? Over time, I had to teach myself to watch TV intentionally, not just let it suck me in. That’s why today, our TV is stored away in the basement, and I hardly ever watch movies anymore.

 

But don’t get me wrong – I’m not a saint! 😆 These days, everyone has a smartphone, and temptation is always just a click away. That’s why I often avoid starting in the first place – it’s just easier for me. But if I do have a weak moment, time flies before I even realize it. That’s why I use content blockers to keep myself in check.

 

These days, I barely use social media in my free time. I already spend so much time in front of a screen for work that I try to balance it out in my personal life. Last weekend, for example, I joined a dance class where people from different cultures teach their traditional dances. I met so many interesting people, and who knows – maybe I’ll find some friends who want to keep practicing with me.

 „Always on the Move – The Women in My Family“

 In today’s podcast, we’re diving into the stories of three incredible women in my family – all of them always on the move, always active, never sitting still!

---

1️⃣ My Grandmother – The Baker in Zurich

Let’s start with my grandmother, who grew up in the countryside but moved to Zurich to work in a bakery. Life wasn’t easy – it was tough, demanding, and non-stop!
She was always on the move, balancing so many responsibilities:

• Serving customers with a smile, no matter how busy it got.
• Handling logistics – making sure everything ran smoothly.
• Managing the finances – keeping the business afloat.
• Working with employees – organizing shifts, solving problems.
• Baking, selling, and keeping everyone happy!

She was constantly on her feet, always active, and she never slowed down – not at work, and not even in her free time. She loved walking around Zurich and exploring the mountains. She was truly always on the move.

---

2️⃣ My Mother – The Social Organizer

The second woman we’ll talk about is my mother, who was just as active!
She worked in different organizations, juggling responsibilities while raising three kids. But that didn’t slow her down – she was always on the go, constantly doing something:

• Attending and organizing social events – always the life of the party.
• Meeting new people and building connections.
• Taking courses and learning new things – she never stopped growing.
• Managing the household while staying active and positive.

Just like my grandmother, she never sat still, and she thrived on being busy. She was, and still is, always on the move.

---

3️⃣ Me – Following in Their Footsteps

And finally, there’s me. I guess I inherited this restless energy from my grandmother and my mother because I’m always on the go too! I love:

• Being active – whether it’s work, hobbies, or social events.
• Meeting people, teaching, organizing lessons – never a dull moment!
• Exploring new places and new ideas – staying curious and adventurous.

But unlike them, I have my husband who is the total opposite. He’s the one who loves to slow things down, take it easy, and relax. And honestly? I’m grateful for that. He reminds me to pause, breathe, and enjoy life.

What About You?

What about you? Are you always on the move, like me and the women in my family?
Or are you more like my husband – taking life one relaxed moment at a time?

🎉 Let’s talk about Zürich!

Hey, are you as excited as I am? Today, we’re diving into one of my favorite cities—Zürich! Whether you live in Switzerland or not, this place is bound to catch your attention. Why? Because Zürich is an amazing blend of cultures, vibes, and unforgettable memories.

🌍 International Vibes
Zürich is super international. So many people from different cultures come together here, creating a dynamic and welcoming atmosphere. It’s like the Swiss version of Philadelphia in terms of diversity—but with trams, a river, and the Alps in the backdrop.

🚋 Trams, the heartbeat of the city
One of the coolest things? Zürich’s trams. They’re not just transportation; they’re part of the city’s charm. I remember chatting about them during Monday’s lesson—my students from  totally agreed!

🌿 Nature meets City Life
From the beautiful Limmat River to the lush green spaces, Zürich is where urban life and nature coexist perfectly. The Zürich Zoo is a must-see (hello, penguins!), and walking by the river is pure therapy.

🎓 Knowledge Hub
Let’s not forget ETH Zürich, one of the top universities in the world. It’s a symbol of innovation, research, and, honestly, some amazing architecture.

🌟 Memories and Connections
For me, Zürich is more than a city—it’s where my memories come alive. My parents live there now, and every visit feels like coming home to the best city in the world. Rich culture, scenic beauty, and a vibrant vibe—Zürich has it all.
