"I would like" in Swiss German

In today's Swiss German lesson you will learn some very useful and common phrases. 

​Have you ever daydreamed about the perfect holiday? Imagine if you had time off, you could travel to Spain, relax on the beach all day, and play golf every single morning. And who knows? With enough practice, you might even become the next Swiss golf champion! 

In today’s Swiss German lesson, we’ll practice expressing wishes, possibilities, and dreams using phrases like "I wish I had...", "Then I could...", and "I would...". These are super useful when talking about things you’d love to do—whether it’s traveling, playing sports, or just chilling on vacation.

🎧 Make sure to listen to the recording and repeat the sentences out loud to get comfortable with the flow of Swiss German.

And of course, I’d love to see you in my Monday VIP course, where we practice short dialogues every week and get you speaking fluently!
​
📅 See you in class—let’s dream, speak, and have fun together!
