Swiss German Word Art Cards created in Procreate

Hey so this is a little tricky to explain but I’ll try my best. Switzerland has four official languages. German, French, Italian and Rumantsch. Even though we all speak High German we have a dialect called Swiss German which we mostly speak. Writing usually happens in German unless it’s a text message among friends. Swiss German is pretty different from German even though lots of words are similar. Germans usually have to listen very carefully to understand. But then where it gets really tricky is when you realize that every canton and every town has it’s own version of Swiss German.

In my home town we have a strong dialect. My mom also works in a nursery home there and so she asked me to make cards with difficult words from that dialect. To give all the different cards a similarity I decided to take photos on a black background and arrange different decorative elements around it. The lettering was done on the Ipad with a chalk pen. Now all I can say is: Have fun learning Swiss German! :-)
