I lived in Bavaria and speak reasonably fluent German, so I can understand bits of it, but it&amp;#x27;s mostly incomprehensible to me, but in a delightful way.  Its &amp;#x27;sing-song&amp;#x27; nature and fun pronunciation are the best.&lt;p&gt;I also found in Switzerland people were far more willing to tolerate and respond to my German than in Germany (where people tend to switch to English), which I very much appreciated when I was still learning the language.</text><parent_chain><item><author>roeme</author><text>Somewhat OT; As a swiss, the omitted ö is &lt;i&gt;really&lt;/i&gt; beginning to bug me.&lt;p&gt;It&amp;#x27;s Zöpfli.
