No, I wouldn't say it's an English-speaking country either. No one talks in English to their peers that are from the same language region.
But yes, I can mostly speak of the German-speaking part. People generally have little problems switching to English, and are used to speaking as well.
- Pooge 2y agoWould you say this is also true of Swiss living in more rural areas? And among older people, too?
- Lukas_Skywalker 2y agoThis is just a feeling, and I am still speaking for the German part only, but I think age matters less than urban/rural. Many older people I know have no problems communicating in English when they‘re abroad. Would be interesting to have the BFS statistics split by age group and region as well…
