Grüezi - Learn Swiss German

Hochdeutsch gets you understood in Switzerland. Schwiizerdütsch gets you included. Grüezi teaches the language the Swiss actually speak — the one on the tram, at the bakery counter, and in the office kitchen.

FROM THE VALLEY TO THE SUMMIT
All 95 lessons form one path up a mountain, grouped into six stages by altitude: S Tal at 400 m, S Dorf, D Alp, D Hütte, De Grat, and De Gipfel at 4'478 m. Every lesson you finish takes you a little higher, and the path always shows your next step. No endless list of chapters — one clear way up.

NEW: CRACK THE CODE WITH MUSCHTER
Swiss German follows patterns. Käse becomes Chäs, Rechnung becomes Rächnig, machen becomes mache. Nine short cards show how Standard German turns into Mundart, with examples to listen to, the exceptions, and a practice round: first pick the word, then write it yourself. Each card says honestly how far its pattern goes.

NEW: YOUR MISTAKES COME BACK
Every word you miss in a lesson goes straight into your flashcards, ready for review. And after each lesson, a quick Wörter-Paar round locks in the words you just met.

NEW: TAKE IT INTO REAL LIFE
One small Alltags-Mission a week: greet the shop assistant with Grüezi, ask for the bill in Swiss German, say Proscht and look everyone in the eye. Every mission uses a phrase you have already learned. Done it? Tap Gmacht! and collect its stamp.

COLLECT ALL SIX STAMPS
Each stage ends with an Etappe-Test of 12 questions. Reach 80 percent and its stamp is pressed into your collection — and you see what you can now really do. Not quite there? Try again straight away, as often as you like.

START WHERE YOU ALREADY ARE
Already speak German, or some Swiss German? A short check of up to 12 questions finds the stage that fits you. It is not a lesson, wrong answers are fine, and "Weiss nöd" is always an option.

HEAR IT, THEN SAY IT
1'123 audio clips in Swiss German rather than Hochdeutsch, at full speed or slowed right down. Then record yourself: Dini Ufnahm puts your voice right next to the original, so your own ear hears the difference — right down to Chuchichäschtli.

LEARN WHY, NOT JUST WHAT
Answers come with short Swiss culture notes. Why Merci and not Danke. Why you greet the whole waiting room. That is what makes it stick.

SPEAK YOUR REGION
Pick from 20 regions at the start — Züri, Bärn, Basel, Innerschwiiz, Ostschweiz, Wallis and more. The whole app switches to the way people speak where you are. 22 side-by-side comparisons show you how the same sentence changes across the country.

REAL CONVERSATIONS
30 dialogues put you in the situation: ordering a Gipfeli at the bakery, buying a ticket at the Bahnhof, small talk at the Beiz. You choose what to say next, and you get coached on the choice.
