Swiss German - Grabserdütsch
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! :-)
Grabserbrögge - So heissen die Wörter, die ich auf die Karten schrieb. Meine Mutter arbeitet in einem Altersheim und deshalb fragte sie mich, ob ich nicht einige “urchige” Wörter aus Grabs lettern könnte. Um eine Gemeinsamkeit zwischen all den Karten zu schaffen, entschied ich mich, Fotos auf schwarzem Hintergrund zu machen. Ich arrangierte verschiedene dekorative Elemente darum und letterte dann auf dem Ipad mit einem Kreidestift. Und voilà - das Ergebnis ist hier zu sehen. Viel Spass beim Lernen des einzig wahren Schweizerdeutsch! :-)
