Most people ignore the other languages.
Swiss childern would have to learn one other language at school, but learning a language in school sucks so bad that most will not be able to speak anything in it.
You don't learn a language by memorizing vocabulary for exams. You learn it by using it, and that's not happening.
So, I'd answer this with nope. Source: I'm swiss.
I'd suggest look at people who truly grew up bilingual.
- jeffreyrogers 12y agoDon't you at least learn some of the others to a passable extent? (I had a roommate who was from a French speaking part of Switzerland and he was able to speak at least passable German with my German friends, so I just assumed this was common in Switzerland... but maybe he was just an exception?).
- lawl 12y agoWe should. But at least the german speaking part mostly doesn't. At least in my personal experience. Of course some people do... But every single meeting I had in the french part was done in english because my french is non-existant and so was their german.
