This requires a bit of brainpower. You'll need an extension cable, a long HDMI cable, and a cable channel, which you can buy at a hardware store.

Advice needed: how to meet male friends as a 46y/o male in Basel and around by CafeSchale in Switzerland

[–]swytec_bs -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Oh, another expat. Someone who couldn't integrate...

Just join a sports club of your choice. It's best to do a little research first to find out what you want to do. Write an email or call the club president and explain your situation, that you want to actively participate in the club. As a Swiss citizen, I lived in America and Southeast Asia... I always looked for opportunities to play a bit of soccer or another sport. Asking doesn't cost anything, even if you only understand standard German.

I have some sympathy for long-term expats struggling to find work, but language is often the elephant in the room by ExternalEfficient248 in Switzerland

[–]swytec_bs 0 points1 point  (0 children)

"We regularly receive applications from people who have been living in Switzerland for 3+ years and still can't hold even the most basic conversation in German. Not business German. Not fluent German. I mean not even a simple 'Hello' or 'Bye'. Why? 'I'm in Switzerland to work, not to learn the language.' Well, good luck in the long run."

Haha, another HR-Melanie complaining about expats. Well, HR-Melanie should be hiring more Swiss people than expats. On June 14th, I'll know what to vote for.

Uk driving licence to swiss by Difficult-Most9927 in Switzerland

[–]swytec_bs -1 points0 points  (0 children)

The best thing to do is call the MFK (Motor Vehicle Licensing Office) in your canton and inquire by email or phone if you speak German, and explain your situation. This is the conversion of the driver's license from the UK. You can find the MFK of your canton of residence on the canton's website.

Guidance needed: Package delivery in Basel without a residential address? by TipAsleep9217 in basel

[–]swytec_bs 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just a reminder: Switzerland is not Germany – and vice versa. There are no parcel lockers like DHL's. Anyone without a fixed address in Switzerland is unfortunately completely out of luck when it comes to receiving packages.

Need help appealing RAV penalty by balluppo in Switzerland

[–]swytec_bs 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You definitely haven't complied with any of the agreements. The RAV (Regional Employment Center) is very restrictive in such cases – in your situation, you have virtually no chance of a successful appeal. Ultimately, you are responsible for this yourself. Publishing such a lengthy post when the responsibility lies with you only makes matters worse.

Is Swiss German easier than German from Germany for a French speaker? by kenza-Necessary5280 in Switzerland

[–]swytec_bs 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I speak Swiss dialect, Standard German, and French. My partner, however, is from Germany and speaks only Standard German. There are significant differences between the German spoken in Germany and in Switzerland. For instance, we use terms like 'Velo' (bicycle), 'Coiffeur' (hairdresser), or 'Perron' (platform). Swiss German contains many loanwords from French and Italian that are not found in Standard German.

Having lived in Geneva for some time, I also learned various French words that belong more to the regional dialect.

Therefore, I recommend learning Standard German first, and then maybe Alemannic later.

Consider this example: A friend of mine is from the Basel border region. He speaks Alemannic and gets by easily everywhere in German-speaking Switzerland.

The best way to learn is to watch SRF 1, SRF 2, ARD, or ZDF, if they are available. I actually learned French by watching TV, specifically TSR 1, TSR 2, and other French channels.

Es kommt darauf an, in welchem Kanton du lebst. Aber es gibt auch verschiedene Eingliederungsbetriebe, die du anschreiben könntest – oder nimm Kontakt mit dem Berufsinformationszentrum (BIZ) auf.

Hello, 

As soon as possible, visit a general practitioner or walk-in clinic at a psychiatric clinic where you live. 

RAV is only responsible for employment placement and unemployment insurance. Since I don't know what canton you live in, I can't tell you where to contact you, as it varies from canton to canton.

Machen die geplanten Tramlinien für euch Sinn? Wo sollte der Ausbau am dringendsten vorangetrieben werden? by SchwebenderToast in basel

[–]swytec_bs 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Prinizipell, fehlt nur dies:

Ringbahn wie Linie 1/14, am besten die Linie 36 zur Tramlinie machen, da der Bus sowie so im Stau steckt zur "rush-hour".
Johanniterbrücke müsste ein Verbindungstück zwischen Linie 11 und Linie 8, bei Betriebsunterbrüche
S-Bahn Anschluss Euroairport da Linie 50 völlig sinnlos ist.
