    🇨🇭❄️ In this episode, we talk about the current avalanche situation in Switzerland and turn real events into a practical Swiss German lesson.

    Heavy snowfall and strong winds have increased avalanche danger in many alpine regions. Roads are being closed, mountain areas are restricted, and safety is a serious topic right now.

    In this podcast, you will:

    • Learn useful Swiss German vocabulary about avalanches • Practice simple and practical dialogues (A2–B1 level) • Understand how to talk about danger and safety in the mountains • Improve your listening skills with real-life context

    This is not just theory — this is real Swiss German connected to real events.

    🎯 VIP members can access the mini lesson and flashcards in the link below.

    Stay safe. Learn smart. Speak Swiss German. 🇨🇭

  • A Different Side of Switzerland: Community, Creativity, and Simple Living
    Feb 5 2026

    Swiss German app https://www.swiss-german-online.com/app.html

    In this podcast, I share personal stories, everyday observations, and reflections on life in Switzerland — often through the lens of language, culture, and human connection.

    Some episodes are inspired by real moments, like my daughter’s experience living in an artistic community, others by what I see every day as a language teacher: how people learn, struggle, grow, and slowly find their voice in a new language.

    It’s not about perfection.

    It’s about listening better, speaking more freely, and seeing Switzerland from different angles — sometimes quiet, sometimes surprising, always human.

    If you’re curious about language, community, and simple, honest living, you’ll feel at home here.

  • My 102-Year-Old Grandmother and the Card Game That Kept Her Sharp
    Dec 9 2025

    7 day free trial https://linktr.ee/swissgermanonline

    In this episode, we go straight into one of Switzerland’s most iconic traditions: Jassen. It’s not just a card game — it’s a social glue, a weekly ritual, and in many families, almost a competitive sport. I talk about my grandmother from the canton of Lucerne, a tough, sharp Swiss woman who kept playing Jass until she was 102. She lived her whole life in a small village that most people would dismiss as boring, but she didn’t need much. As long as she could sit at the table, hold her cards, and outplay everyone, she was happy.

    We look at why analogue games are still alive in a world drowning in screens. People want something real — eye contact, arguments over rules, laughter, frustration, and those tiny moments that only happen around a table. Jass groups still meet every week across Switzerland. Inns still hand out Jass sets. TV shows like Donnschtig-Jass still run. And tournaments pop up everywhere, including the ones we organized as teenagers to fund our summer camps.

    We also talk about the basics of Jass, why it keeps your brain sharp, and why it’s still worth learning if you live in Switzerland. And yes — we get honest about how people actually play: who cheats, who denies cheating, and who absolutely cannot handle losing.

    At the end, you get a set of questions for reflection: Do you play card games? Can you lose gracefully? What’s the game your family protects like a cultural treasure?

    If you want to join us for the Tuesday conversation group, you can — and maybe this winter, you’ll pick up a new game too.
