## What is Swissli?

Swissli: Swiss German that actually sounds Swiss

Moved to Switzerland and realised your school German gets you nowhere at the bakery? You're not alone. People here speak dialect, and that's exactly what Swissli teaches you.

Short lessons. Real phrases. The Swiss German you'll actually use tomorrow, not textbook German nobody speaks.

Your guide is Alpi, a Swiss cow who keeps things practical. You'll build real grammar, vocabulary and phrases, always tied to everyday situations: shopping, work, small talk, the stuff that actually comes up. Grammar that helps you speak, not dry theory you forget by lunch.

What you'll learn
- Real Swiss German (Schweizerdeutsch), the way it sounds on the street, in shops, at work
- Your dialect of choice: Zurich German (Züritüütsch), Bernese German (Bärndütsch) or Swiss High German
- Business courses for real jobs: restaurants, hotels, construction sites, healthcare & hospitals, offices, retail & shops, cleaning, mechanics & workshops, farming, and beauty & hairdressing
- Lessons in 5 to 10 minutes, made for the tram, the queue, the coffee break

Hear it, then say it
Sentences and words come with audio in your dialect, so you learn how Swiss German sounds, not only how it looks.

Your own vocabulary
Every word you learn lands in your Vocabulary. Search it, check the translation and see how a verb is conjugated in your dialect.

Built for real life
Every lesson prepares you for a real conversation. Practice offline, go at your own pace, and watch your streaks grow as it clicks.

Levels from complete beginner (A1) to fluent (B2), plus business courses for whatever you do here.

No ads. No distractions. No filler. Just Swiss German that finally makes sense.

Download Swissli and order your next Gipfeli in dialect.

### 5/5 — Easy to understand

*2026-09-26*

Updated review, it’s very good

**Developer response:** Hi,

Thanks for the detailed review.

Listening and guessing the meaning is only one exercise type, and it is there to train comprehension by ear. A new language sounds foreign at first, that is normal.

Much of what you ask for is already in the app: one exercise plays a Swiss German recording, you rebuild the sentence you heard, then see it in English. "Connect Words" shows both languages side by side. Since the 9 September update you can tap any word in "Connect Words" and "Guess New Word" to hear it again, and replaying whole sentences is in the update out today.

Swissli mixes these exercise types on purpose, so you train listening, reading and vocabulary together.

It is a shame to get 1/5 for an app that already has most of what you asked for. Please update, try the other exercises, and if Swissli then feels closer to the potential you saw in it, we would appreciate a revised rating.

### 1/5 — You have to guess??

*2026-09-12*

I love the concept of this app and think it has a lot of potential, but the learning experience could be improved significantly. Right now, you have to listen to audio in Swiss German and guess what it means in English. For beginners, that can be frustrating and makes learning much more difficult than it needs to be. A much more effective approach would be to display the Swiss German phrase alongside its English translation (or the user's selected language). Being able to see both languages side by side would help users understand connections between words, compare meanings, and memorize vocabulary more naturally. Instead of repeatedly guessing and getting answers wrong, learners could build confidence while actually understanding what they're hearing. I think adding this feature would make the app far more user-friendly and effective for people trying to learn Swiss German. I’ve been getting them right only because I’ve studied some basics by myself. Overall, I think have it where it’s side by side and then after a few lessons then gradually do it to where you have to guess. So that way you do remember and don’t rely on side by side. Also, would be nice if I could press on the words and sentences multiple times to hear it over again after guessing it correctly.

## Version history (last 5 releases)

### 1.4.1 — 2026-10-06

New: after a lesson you see the words it just added to your Vocabulary.

Settings > Preferences has a new E-mail section: choose whether you get news and updates, and offers.

### 1.4.0 — 2026-10-03

New: the Vocabulary tab. Every word from the lessons you have finished, in one place: the dialect word, its meaning and how it sounds. Verbs open into their full conjugation, with audio for every form. Search finds a word with or without its article or umlauts, and by its meaning. The list grows with each lesson you complete.

Premium has a "Got a promo code?" link for special offers.

In the lesson list the chapter title and back arrow now stay in place while you scroll.

### 1.3.1 — 2026-09-29

New: smarter reminders. They skip days you have already learned, know your streak and come once more at 21:00 when it is at risk. After a lesson the app offers a reminder at that hour the next day.

In the free trial, the top bar counts down the days left.

All switches are now in Settings > Preferences, and About Swissli has a new look.

Fixed: with a large font the screen no longer shakes. Streak freezes kick in right after midnight, and finished chapters open again for review.

### 1.3.0 — 2026-09-25

Every sentence and every word in Swissli now has audio you can play, so you always know how it sounds.

Answer correctly and you hear the whole sentence in the dialect you are learning: 15,946 new recordings in Bernese, Zurich and Swiss Hochdeutsch. Tap play to hear it again.

Answers now have a short sound of their own, and so does finishing a lesson. Two switches in Settings, Audio and Sound, turn the two off separately.

The flame in the header stays grey until your first lesson of the day.

### 1.2.1 — 2026-09-16

Reading mode is now a speaker icon in the top right corner of listening exercises, away from the answer button. Tap it to read the sentence instead of listening, tap it again to listen again.
