Episode Synopsis
--- Send us your questions ---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, to avoid seriously offending your new-found friends, colleagues or anyone else you meet, so we have a few short cuts for you.Notes on this episode of Swiss and Chips: Your British Guide to SwitzerlandWhen one word isn't enough: saying goodbyeHeard a sneeze?
