Hardly anybody speaks Romansch, though. The languages are loosely mapped to geography, and it's typical for the french-speaking parts to learn German as a second language from early on (and then pick up English on their own, or get taught it in later years). Iirc it's the reverse in the german part. Not sure what the Italian-speakers do... So, in short, most french/german native swiss should speak at least French, English and German fluently enough to have conversations in it.
