What are Swiss people like? Living in Geneva, Switzerland

I’d like to move to Switzerland as a nurse but I’m black from Africa, I fear I’d be treated differently. What part of Swiss has more foreigners?

are you hungarian?

❤❤❤❤❤

Love this--My best friends in California are Swiss and I am considering a move to Geneva--I felt everything you said about Swiss culture insightful and on point!

I'm very happy to know this.

It's all about culture. Some cultures destroy what they have. The Swiss cherish and maintain their home, and guard it very well.

Namuncha kup gapirding.

how are Swedes polite, all my experiences there are just rudeness and coldness in people lol

First off Sweden is SUPER far from Switzerland lol...but whatever. Sigh.

Man you’re talking about politeness, I’m your neighbour in Geneva , in paquis and you just blocked me when I tried to approach to you asking for advices when I was new in the city , that’s not polite at all !

if you from not from Siwss and wanted to living there. make sure your social skill is Extraordinary 😁.
Swiss people is good, warmth and very respected people.

But What can i say?? Their Socialize environment for outsider is.... Well Yeah something like that
🤣
Swiss Level Socials and Friendship :
Easy
Normal

Keep in mind : The pure Alpine type
with blue eyes and black-blue hair is fast disappearing from the earth. This is
because only a blue-eyed mother and a blue eyed father can give birth to a blue
eyed offspring of the pure Alpine type. If this mother is blue-eyed but the father
is not, the child will not be blue-eyed. Thus the blue-eyed race is fast
becoming extinct.

You Swiss live only for yourself, you block weapons for Ukraine and for Poland, and you have a lot of conscience, cooperation with Hitler and this means that he deposited the stolen gold and valuables with the Jews. So far, you have not been responsible for it, and you should. You are a passive nation and you do not care about War. I CAN MEET YOU TOO, AND NO ONE WILL HELP YOU.

Here in Perú we eat… guinea pig

Is there a Spanish Swiss area??

majestic, I'll be there with my wife

There is little or no 'salary transparency' that it a real euphemism.

You’re awesome! I love watching your videos Miko! My mom is Swiss and from Geneva. As I was raised in the US, it is so nice to learn more about where she is from. After I graduate from university in 2023, I plan to move to Switzerland and live out my dreams of enjoying my Swiss citizenship. I will also be spending Christmas with my Swiss family in Geneva this December through January. I’m really excited to explore!

Nice video I have enjoyed to see

Geneva... A French speaking part with mostly foreigners and refugees... You should visit every canton and then do a review 😁

Nice video buddy! I love so much the life in Geneva

Ihop tjat they are not as coold as swedes, ive Been Living in sweden my hole life, the most Boring country in europé with super cold people, for a toruist the swedes are kind but nice you live in sweden then be ready that people Will be cold,dont talk only when they are drunk

The Swiss are highly rational people. Not emotional duds unlike in the rest of the world. Your example of Universal Basic income speaks it out all re how Swiss people think. The same holds true of water tax.

my bf from geneva . his so very polite 😄 . nice country hope can visit there

Being late 5 minutes maybe acceptable in Geneva but definitely not in the rest of switzerland. Being 5 minutes early is acceptable, not being late.

Thank you ! 👍

i really want to move to the german part of switzerland since german is my strongest language in that country but i’m afraid because i’m of indian descent and i heard the locals there aren’t friendly to people of colour :(

yeeeeeeeeeeeees to the bonus tip !! i hate it when people don't keep eye contact LOL !!

As a person who lived in swizerland my whole life (in Geneva) and who has visited every canton this place has people from all over the world from migrating columbians to french who feel like it I say that yes real swiss people are very quiet and there are more Swiss people in the middle of the country more of the outside is from neighbouring countries in Geneva French people in Zurich Germans and let’s of course not forget the Columbians

I live in America but I did my 23 and me and it matched me with 78.8% grisons switzerland and baden wuttemburg germany. I wanna visit someday!

You can't possibly judge the people of an entire country based on one city alone, specially a country like Switzerland, which has 3x distinct linguistic areas (Swiss German / French / ltalian). Geneva is in the French-speaking area so it could (/should?) be used to talk about ethnic Swiss French only

I am living in Zurich since two years and not made 1 friend. I feel so lonely here. I lived in Israel during my studies and made TONS of friends in only one week. I am packing my bags and leaving for Israel in a month. Cannot wait to go back. Money is not everything. I feel in a rut here in Switzerland. It is not for me.

I have a question is learning Swiss hard and how long does it takes to learn it?

Geneva is not Switzerland. It is 70% foreigners, mainly Frenchies.

Wow as a swiss (studying political science) i m surprised you see some „communism went right“. True Switzerland has some good social security but it really isnt as extensive as for example in the nordic countries. Switzerland has always been dominated by the liberals and still is. Small fun fact: the FDP (liberal party) is the party that has been the longest holding the government worldwide by a far margine (since 1848 uninterrupted in power) 😉

Swizz people are not as beautiful as their country is

Is Switzerland a very libertarian country economically? Does the government get out of your way and let you be free?

Hi dear, I hope you’re doing good. Switzerland is my dream country, how can I come to Switzerland

Which Swiss? Italian? German? French? Are they all alike? Not at all.

Where are you friend? Why are not uploading vidoes ? Miss your videos !

thank you for your witness :)

If you are Black, Asian, Chinese etc. stay away from German speaking parts. Tourism is ok but living there will be very complicated for you.

Dream country..switzerland😍

I am zurich and is harder here to make friends, I guess timing us against me. I came the wrong time

We also down voted one more payed week off work per year... it’s not about social responsibility but economical responsibility. you have to be serious about it when you’re in a direct democracy. As you say : just don’t through money around, cause it’s not falling from the sky (comes from taxes, so you’re actually paying shit yourself even if it might seem “free” - nothing is anyway). So if you want : be social as long as you can afford it - if we both drown, one can not save the other one. Harsch but true... 🤷🏻‍♀️

It is in a blog

do u have email address? i have some Questions

Miko can I ask what courses or online tools are you using to learn French?? Thank you!
