Switzerland is a very diverse country with four national languages: German, French, Italian and Romansh. The Swiss also share their border with five countries: Germany, France, Italy, Austria and Liechtenstein. And out of all the people living in Switzerland, 25% don\'t have a Swiss passport.

So how does this work? How do the Swiss communicate and how do they all get along with each other?

Did you know we have a Facebook group? Switzerland for English Speakers is a great place to ask questions and share experiences. Have a look!
