TipTopSwiss 135:366

I saw this advertisement on my way to Zug today.
It's not the first time that I've noticed advertisements in English - see the Toblerone one in February. I checked out the website. Everything is in German or French except the advertisement. Money saving? Universal appeal? I don't know.

Money saving, I think, plus the Swiss have that notion of English being a "cool" language. A bit like if a shop has a French name in the UK then they can double their prices...

Lisibo's 2012 challenge

This blog is my 2012 challenge - post a photograph of the something Swiss, and share a word or two in one of the languages of Switzerland every day for a year.

This follows on from Window on my world 365 my 2011 challenge to photograph the view of / from a window each day, and Trees365 my 2010 challenge to post a photograph of a tree.

And if you want to follow my family's first steps as we settle in Switzerland, you might like to see SwissMiss-Adventures.

My professional blog is called ¡Vámonos! and looks at teaching and learning in the 21st century, with a particular focus on primary language learning, creativity and the use of technology.
