^_^ Ich habe dasselbe Problem mit einer anderen Person auf dem Forum...

Ich komme der französischsprachige Teils von der Schweiss (Genf-Lausanne), dann ist meine deutsche Sprache nicht schrecklich und meine Schweiz-deutsche: keiner :(

Also habe ich alles in deiner Nachricht nicht verstanden :)

Sprachst du über einen älteren schwarzweißen Film?

Oh non! Mon français est aussi terrible que votre d'allemand.
I think we better stick to english then :blush :
Translation: Thank you very much that you have taken your time and saw thru my designs.
It’s nice to meet a fellow Eidgenoss here. (Although we can’t speak in our native tongue^^)
Yes I saw the film but wasn’t quite pleased with it. I know the legend since my childhood and had some expectations towards the film. I think there’s a second film, old (black-white I think) which I would like to see.

Ok pas de soucis ^_^

Oh yes, this is not the "movie of the year" sure, but I think it has his place at the NIFFF of Neuchâtel (have you ever been here? This is a festival of fantastic movies at Neuch'...I think you know, but I made some advertising for ;) !)

I have never seen the over old movie you spoke about, I'll look for it.

I know the myth since my childhood too, but I never think a lot about it, and this movie has remind me this story (but I'm not sure I know all about this myth...sure not)

That's a big quality and also a problem of Switzerland ^_^ French/Swiss-Deutsh/Italian. It's cool to live in a so little country (and beautiful :D) but we have to learn sooo many languages if we want to communicate well...but I agree english is the solution!
(some chinese students in my School of art and...no I'll not learn it too complicated, I'm saved by english too :)

Happy to meet someone from the region too!

Yea I know what it is but I never had the time to visit.

I was always fascinated about tales and folkloric. And could remember them pretty well. If you’re interested in some further fables read my ‘Alp Bogy’ poems. There I try to tell our Swiss folklore in Rhymes.

Yea it’s a blessing and a curse at the same time that we have 4 languages. I’ve just been on vacation for a week. Visiting the triangle of Bulle-Broc-Gruyere. It was awesome but Man! I shore forgot a lot about French since school. That’s what happens when you don’t practice :( But since I’m from the German part I can mess with the Germans. I love to do that. We can understand them but they mostly can’t understand us, even the Zürich dialect (which I find the easiest of them)! Always makes me laugh. Is that the same with you? Do French and Swiss-French have different dialects?

Not at all! ^_^
I live juste on the border between France (Haute-Savoie in fact) and Swiss and don't really know well the France (just the villages near from here and some important cities that I have visited traveling) but there is not any differences between french and french spoken in Swiss...but there is the accent!
(The Zürich one is one of the funniest I confirm! We have a teacher from here :D !)

When I speak with friends from Gruyere (there is the Giger museum here, but I think you have see already see it! It one of my preferred museum!!! Love HG.Giger's art!), Nyon or from The Chaux-de-Fond their very strong accent always influence me and I speak with the same intonation than them during hours ^_^ that's funny.

Yeah I know there is deferences between german and swiss-german but I always think they are tiny...but if you can speak with your neighbors that's the essential! :)

Languages lessons at school..:(...so.....maybe better take more lessons during university time :)
But at the end not many time to do that....
So I plan it for after... :(

I'm really interested about your myth poems! I'll see that (I keep the link)

Hm… never considered the Zürich dialect funny. Basel is way funnier. And cuter!

The hell yes I’ve been in the Giger Museum! That’s one of my main reasons why I wanted to go to the region of Gruyere!
Yes it’s funny how a different dialect can influence us. I had that in my apprenticeship and started talking with an Appenzeller dialect. LOL

Studying is a bitch. But necessary :(

Yes it is a brilliant museum and the region also is very beautiful (and the absinthe is delicious!)

Well, for the studies I complain by I work of my passion and finishes my studies in something who so hold me heart a lot! ^_^

But good luck in your studies if they are boring! ;)
Take advantage of the summer break!
