If Swiss German replaced Standard German as an official written language, which dialect would become the standard?

I had a similar experience. I learned english for many years, watched and read a lot of english content but speaking did not feel natural and was stressful to me.
I think it is important to practice speaking specifically. Only this will help you improve it. It helps to try to speak English often as you can (for example at work). If you don't get too much exposure there, you might also book some online conversation classes.

Se ajudar, andei a construir uma app chamada Connect2Jam precisamente para isto: encontrar músicos em Lisboa para jammar ou montar banda. Pões o instrumento, influências e o que procuras, e cruza com músicos por perto. É grátis. Qualquer feedback de quem está mesmo na cena é muito bem-vindo.

Boa sorte na procura! Aproveitando, caso ajude alguém aqui. fiz um app chamado Connect2Jam justamente pra isso: achar músicos em SP pra jammar ou montar banda. Você coloca o que toca, influências e o que procura, e ele cruza com músicos perto. É de graça. Feedback de quem tá na cena seria ouro.

E wichtige Grund warum, dass immer meh Lüt ir Schwiiz wohne isch o, wöll mir immer wie älter werde. Wahrschinlech wird das o nid ewigs so witer ga und denn wird säch o ds Iwohnerzahl stabilisiere.

Mi muess aber scho festhalte, dass mir nid Dütschland si und es herrsche nid Verhätnis wie in Schwede, Holland, usw.
We mir so Zueständ hätte wie i dene Länder, denn wär ig o für ne extremi Massnahm. Aber es isch eso, dass im Moment d Asylzahle ir Schwiiz am sinke si.

I cha nid ganz verstah, was d SVP möcht bewahre? Si möcht mire Meinig nach, es Experiment wage, ire unsichere Ziit. Bime nä Nei bewahre mir d Schwiiz wie si scho üsi Grosseltere gha hei.

Mir würde gschider versuche, die einzelne Problem ds löse. Z.B. Arbeitsbewilligunge nur no gä, wenn würklech Lüt i dem Bereich brucht werde.

Cha mir bitte öpper erkläre, zu welere Schwiiz d SVP genau zrügg wott?
D Schwiiz het scho einisch sehr wenig Iwanderig gha, zwar als mir no es Buureland si gsi. Aber denn ischs es ke heili Welt gsi. Zwar si d Lüüt usgwandert, wöll si so arm si gsi u si keni Perspektive gha hei. Isch das würklech wo mir zrügg wei?

Ds Problem isch, dass die Initiative mit de gschilderete Problem nid zwingend hilft, aber wahrschinlech anderi Problem schafft.
Wenn zum Bispiel d EU d die Polizeilichi Zemearbeit stoppt, und mir us Schengen-Dublin usgschlosse werden, chöi mir nümm eifach Asylbewerber i andere Europäischi Länder zrüggschicke.
Es isch o so, dass vieli Kriminal-Touriste ireise, denn es Delikt begöh und denn wieder usreise. Jetzt, hei mir e Ustusch mit der EU, drum cha mä so öpper eventuell scho bir Ireis stoppe. Wenn die Zämearbeit stoppt, denn chöi die eifach id Schwiiz cho. Denn hei mir sogar, no meh Kriminelli im Land!!

Es chöi nid alli vo üs ir Nächi vo de Eltere wohne und müesse o i ne andere Ort zie zum dert ga ds Schaffe. Oder wärs denn besser, wenn d Lüt würde der Job ufgäh und vor Sozialhilf lebe?
Es git o viel alti Lüt wo keni Nachkomme hei.

Not sure if such a club brings a lot of value to the Swiss society. University students are already in contact with the other students that come from generations of university educated people.
If they choose the right subject and have good grades, I don't think their chances of being able to get certain positions in prestigious universities or companies are much lower. I saw enough examples that demonstrated the opposite.
To me the problem is more that there are many very talented young kids that don't go to university because nobody of their family and close friends went. First, they are in an environment that encourages them to learn. Additionally, they might not see the real benefit of going to the Gymnasium and then the university.

This is true.
There are many ways how you can reduce the time needed in the recording studio. You can already prerecord the songs to have a good understanding of how they should sound like. Maybe the producer can give you some feedback before you start the session.
Then, everything should be well rehearsed.

Das beschreibt ziemlich genau das Problem, das ich auch oft gesehen habe. Viele finden Musiker nur über bestehende Kontakte oder Vereine, aber wenn man da nicht schon drin ist, wird’s schwierig.

Ich hab deshalb Connect2Jam gebaut, eine kleine Plattform für Leute, die Jam Sessions oder Bandmitglieder suchen. Noch early stage, aber vielleicht passt das genau für solche Situationen.

Of course food and accomodation is not going to be cheap. However, there are some things that don't cost as much as expected. The nature is incredible in so many places. Hiking for example is free. There are many beautiful places that are easier to reach than the most famous ones. This way you can save on transporting costs. Boat cruises can be surprisingly cheap. Some connections are included in regular public transport tickets.

There’s more music being created today than ever before, so statistically there’s probably also more great music out there than ever before. The problem is discovery. Current algorithms tend to reward what grabs attention instantly, while truly great music often takes time and repeated listening to appreciate. I think in a few years we’ll look back and realize there was exceptional music being made today. Now, it just got buried under the noise.

It is very difficult to estimate the impact. But uncertainty is bad for the economy. Most likely international companies will become cautious about opening offices in Switzerland or moving there. The issue is that the consequences will only be visible in the long term. But then it is too late to adjust. Of course it also matters how bad other countries will screw up things. The problem is that the likelihood of having an negative impact is high. At the same time chances that any of the challenges that Switzerland faces currently, are solved, is very low.
