If you've ever wondered what the differences between swiss german and german, then this one's for you. We swiss, Germans call the german that's spoken in Germany, High german. See swiss german is not a codified language, so Children have to learn high german once they enter school, since that's all that's spoken and written in the classroom. But the german spoken in school is still slightly different from the high german they speak in Germany. Any german will be able to tell that a person is swiss because they will still have a slight swiss accent when they speak german.
