How far is it to Fribourg?

Today we will learn to ask simple questions. You will learn how to ask "how far..." in Swiss German. Since Switzerland is a small country everything is  very close or a stone's throw away (Chatzeschprung) I hope you will find the phrases useful and will be able to use them in every day conversations with Swiss people. Enjoy the lesson.
