The many subtle differences between Switzerland and Germany add up to a significant difference in mentality, culture, and language that many Germans do not realize. Saying "Grüezi, I’ll have a beer!" will definitely not earn you any sympathy points in Switzerland. This book aims to help develop a sensitivity to these differences, not just linguistically. Having immigrated about 30 years ago, the author draws from his personal experience and offers concrete assistance and useful information on 18 clearly defined topics. An informative and entertaining guide for all situations in life - not just for Germans!.
