In numerous small essays on specific Swiss German expressions, the journalist living in Zurich, with a keen ear, explores the often-overlooked qualities of expression in Swiss dialect. "A small unassuming book by Christian Scholz appears, and - oh wonder! - the Swiss Germans love it... Our dialect is more than communication; this book is much more than mere sentences. Buy it, read it, gift it!" (Radio-Magazin, Zurich) "Scholz's affinity for his adopted home sometimes leads him to be quite critical of the Germans. Much more often, the book is thoroughly enjoyable. After all, cultural misunderstandings - which are certainly not hidden here - can also be amusing." (Süddeutsche Zeitung, Munich).
