What do you say in Switzerland when...
Do you know how to respond in Switzerland to avoid an intercultural mishap? Once you've started picking up the language as an expat, you'll start to notice the mother-tongue speakers around you reply in certain ways to specific situations or questions. This can be from anything as simple as a sneeze, to trickier discussions about salaries, or dare-we-go-there, politics. It can take a while to work out what you need to say when, so to avoid seriously offending your new-found friends, colleagues or anyone else you meet, we have a few shortcuts for you.
