COURSE MATERIAL 

My Book Series

I designed this series because I couldn't find learning material that taught Swiss German from scratch in English. Each book builds naturally on the previous one, helping you gain confidence step by step.

MEET THE TEACHER

Rahel Roth

One day, a student asked me a question that completely changed my career. 

Instead of learning High German, she wanted to learn Swiss German directly, even though everyone around her had advised against it, saying Swiss German couldn't really be learned. Curious, I accepted the challenge. And I was proud to be the one help her succeed against all odds. 

It didn't take long to discover the problem. Most learning materials assume that students already have an intermediate knowledge of High German. They focus on memorizing phrases rather than explaining how Swiss German actually works.

I wanted to create something different—a course that allows English speakers to learn Swiss German from the very beginning, without first having to master High German.

That is how my books were born.

Today, my mission is to help expats understand the language they hear every day, connect with their neighbors, friends, colleagues, and family, and truly feel at home in Switzerland.
