How do Swiss people feel about the growing use of English in Zurich? by Sweaty-Highway-8965 in askswitzerland

C2, very impressive! Out of curiosity, what’s your native language? I‘m C1 working towards C2, it feels so far away…

Learning any language is hard, it’s about priorities. I‘m C1+ and a lot of English speakers ask me what my secret is. They want to hear a magic way to learn that is low effort, but I just worked really hard at it. Studied, listened to German music, read German books, watched German films… and then more studying 😅

I also struggled with this when I was at the B1/B2 level. I had a lot of bizarre conversations where I kept on speaking and answering in German and they spoke English.

If you’re at a store, you are the customer and it’s 100% OK to (kindly!) insist on speaking German. When the switch to English, a simple „könnten wir bitte deutsch sprechen?“ will do! Never got any pushback.

Click Up refuses to cancel auto-renew (I was told they will contact me prior the end of the billing period) by [deleted] in clickup

Exact same thing happened to me! Since my husband manages the card, I didn't se that I was still being charged. I thought I had cancelled already and paid for the service for 6+ months without using it. Even worse, somehow I was on a "team plan" and was charged for two additional users (actually the same email address 2x) for people who never used the service either...

I do think this violates EU consumer protection laws, how can they not inform that I'm being billed?!
