@@tcjacobi9275 Hello there. I have just binged through all of your content and I'd really like this to be a successful channel. I'd be very interested in linguistical and historical oddities; I especially liked the one on Loriots grave. I'm by no means an expert on how to grow a RU-vid channel but here is some knowledge I have picked up during my time on this platform: - The algorithm judges the success of a video by three metrics: watch-time, likes and comments. So, if a viewer has watched the entire video, has liked it and left a comment it will have a very positive effect towards the videos view-count. That's why most if not all RU-vidrs encourage their viewers at the end of the video to like, share, comment and subscribe. - The best way to turn RU-vid into a successful source of income is to grow a loyal audience over time. There are many ways to achieve that but the core qualities I recommend to keep in mind are: originality, entertainment value and creativity. - The (dreaded) Algorithm seems to favour a consistent upload-schedule. The frequency does not matter at all as long as it is consistent. - Make use of the community tab. It will help with growth quite a bit. - Shout-outs and collaborations are a good way to receive a boost in numbers and to make your presence known across the platform. - I also recommend a consistent style of thumbnail, which you seem to have made good use of already. You could make a collaboration with this guy: ru-vid.com Here's useful video: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-yvXDaWC8N58.html
Sounds like someone kicked a Scottish man in the balls. My family is from rothenfluh,kanton Switzerland. They spoke German since they came to Indiana and somehow we lost our language

That's actually pretty accurately described. It's also commonly believed (I'm talking about just a good amount of people, not everyone) that germany is kinda weird and that the people their are a bit arrogant. At least if you ask Swiss or Austrians

A few days ago, I met a nice old lady in a café who thought that I was Swiss (I am British and both of my parents are British), and I really had to know what I sound like. Very good accent! :D
It's incredible how Swiss German sounds remarkably similar to the Scots language and/or the Scottish dialect of English. Fascinating! I also loved the German joke about the Swiss. "What is the time?" *throat noises* XD
Absolutely brilliant. Between 1:30 and 2:22 I almost fell off my chair laughing😂 Totally relatable as many swiss friends sound just like this when speaking english. On the subject of the KHhhh sound 2:27 how about the Chäschüechli?
Nice! I think it's mainly the melody that makes this sound Swiss (although the subtle kch sounds were good, too). The same happens when we speak Standard German. Germans are legally required to choose one tone when they are 18, and then all of their utterances must use exactly this pitch unless they ask a question. Swiss people, on the other hand, will generally retain the melody of their dialect when talking Standard German.
Depending on the dialect, we do similar things Scottish people do with English, e.g. pronounce an "eye" sound like "aye". But it's mainly the melody of our speaking, I believe, which he really nailed here.
This was really good! Over the top, sure, but still very accurate. My parents' generation was actually taught to pronounce the "u" like you did (like would be correct in burn, but not in fun - in EVERY word). Younger Swiss people probably won't do that as much. Maybe i'll actually make a video where you can hear me speak English (or rather American). Would be interested to hear your opinion :)
Well, it's even worse. There are multiple Swiss dialects which use completely diffrent pronounciations and words. We also mix in a lot of English, Italian & French eords to make it more difficult. You're welcome
Its not our dialect its our mother tongue. It's not something we sometimes use. It's our language. Swiss german is german in it's core, but we swiss think of german as spoken in germany as a foreign language. I'd say the swiss dialects are as different to each other as they are to german. plus It would have been nice to hear the same story in a german accent.
Hahaha. 😂😂 You nailed it. I speak Hochdeutsch with slightly Norddeutsch accent (Schleswig-Holstein) but, I really love Swiss German accent. It's awesome. Sounds very much like Flemish (Belgian Dutch) (I speak it as well). The way they pronounce "r" is amazing.
Standart German: "Neulich hatte ich ein bisschen Hunger und wollte mir einen Kabap holen. Es war abends, etwa acht Uhr. Aber als ich aus dem Haus kam, sah ich, dass es einen Unfall gegeben hatte. Ein Auto war in einen Bus gekracht und der Busfahrer stand unter Schock. Er sah mich an, als wäre er völlig benommen..." Swiss German: "Letschti hani chli äs hüngärli g'ha und hamär wellä än kchebab go holä ga. S'isch aabig g'si, öppä'n achti. Abär woni usäm huus uus bi, hani g'se, dassäs än unfall gä g'ha hät. Äs auto isch inän bus inädunnärät und dä busschofföör isch foll im schokch g'si. Är hät mich aag'luägt g'ha, wiä wännär föölig benäblät g'si wäri..." (ortografie slightly changed, to emphasis the differences in pronunciation).
i gotta say i love swiss-german (not sure which one specifically) i am trying to learn the unique swiss words lately actually. i soooooo love the word for chaos "Chrüsimüsi" it's soooo happy and energetic! or the word for "mouse" i think it goes "Müsli" and i love that so much!
i remember when i was in vacation in Switzerland many years ago and hearing the swiss speak deutch with that strong R and i thought back then that its like the Scottish of the German speaking world
I disagree. Unlike Swiss German, Dutch is a fully codified language with dictionaries, newspapers, literature etc. There are no newspapers, no dictionaries, no legal or academic texts in Swiss German.
It seems to me a little bit like norwegian, perhaps im confused. Im slowly learning German and swiss accent sounds also like a strange palatal rough sound!
I was going to Münich, brushing up on my German. and passed over in Zürich haha! I would compare the High German I was learning to Heavy Metal music versus the Swiss German, as a harp!
I would say the pronounciation is quite good but you forgott the melody swiss people have. Once I was speaking german to a girl in a restaurant in italy, I woundered where she came from because the accent was quite weak. When she talked english to the waiter it was imediately obvious that she was from switzerland just because of the heavy accent and melody. Then I asked her why I couldn´t hear it whilst she was speaking german. She said I try to not be obvious swiss to everybody so I hide my accent.
My family was Bernese Swiss that came to America at the turn of the century. My grandfather spoke perfect german even though he was a poor boy from a rural area of America. Germans always wanted to hear him speak his "hillbilly German " which was just Bernese Swiss dialect. I'm american so I don't totally understand the differences 😂
LOL.. the way you copied the sound in English is like scottish sound. You're good at Scottish Fnglish sound tho'. When Swiss tried to speak in English, they have similarities with French trying to speak in English.
English is simaler. Original, Canadian, NZ, Austrialian and American English all sound fairly different. However we don't need subtitles when watching movies or shows from the other countries.
W are actually pronounced V : ve vent to a pop to have a drinkh vis our frrrientz, and ve had a lot of fon ! (we went to a pub to have a drink with our friends and we had a lot of fun). 😅
Swiss accent is almost comparable to scottish accent but I think that you, speaking english with a swiss accent is more likely to be understood by english people than scots speaking a true scottish accent...
If swiss was an english 'dialect': Lastadaa, Ee ha beid abittly hungry, d'for Ee ha wana gawn a kkebab gaw get. T'has beid s'eivnig, appan aaktei. But werEe ha kkon ootmee hoos oot, Ee ha seid t'has an akzident beid. And a kkar has eetundeard eena bus beid. And d'bus kkondukteur has beid unter shokk. Hei has awpeikkig awmei beid, leek... tawttaly eena daaz. And den mee neksty dour naakboor, d'Mr Spättly, hei has kko runnig oothis hoos oot. And d'firsty werhei has dawd beid yellig awd'bus kkondukteur: "Haay, what d'f*ukk bei maakkig der? Kka neid parkear der, dis eis a preevaty groond!" Sunan a*hawl, d'Mr Spättly. But reilly: straakt eefront ofmee hoos! But lukly nawbady has beid reilly inkurd. And laater ees han ootfoond had, dat d'houly dig has beid rekkord ona kkammera, kkos d'Mr Spättly de, has CCTV. Where is the swissest of all sounds. Standard german with swiss accent can be difficult to understand. The video does an excellent job in showing this, well done 👏! Swiss dialects however are on a completely different level. I hope the example above illustrates this for non-german speakers.
The same text w/o sound shifts: Last-a-day, I have been a-bit-ly hungry, therefore I have wanted go-n a kabap go get. It-has been to-evening, about-n eight-ei. But where-I have come out-my house out, I have seen it-has an accident been. And a car has in-thunder-ear-ed in-n-a bus been. And the bus conductor has been under shock. He has at-peeking at-me been, like... totally in-a daze. And then my next door neighbour, the Mr Spät-ly, he has come running out-his hause out. And the first-thing wher-he has done been at-yelling at-the-bus conductor: "Hey what the f*uck are marking there? Can not park-eare there, this is a private ground!" Such an a*hole, the Mr Spät-ly. But really: straight in-front of-my house! But luckily nobody has been really injured. And later-n we have-n out-found had, that the-whole thing has been recorded on-an camera, because the Mr Spät-ly the, has CCTV.
