SURVIVAL AND COMMUNICATION

In switzerland the young people speak a little diferent but no much, the main problem is that this country have four official lenguage, and somepeople speak german, and other speak french, so you can walk and hear english, and 2 minuets after you listen italian and in 15 secans you listen german...you can know if some young people speak diferent or not.

In switzerland too its speak a dialect that is a conbination of the germn and swiss, this is the lenguage of the youngs, and this is the main reason for i cant talk about a simple phrases because is all a dialect.}

In this country the people practice the snowboard, but its a so safety because the poblation have a culture of control and order. Add the police is so effecty and rigorous.

The snow spotrs are so popular in that country, but in Colombia isnot, in Colombia is popular the soccer and skating, so we can conclude that the sports are so diferents.

In switzerland a spanish speaker can take clss in educations centers of this country, or maybe if speak german or italian or french havent to do it. The english is the bussines lenguage and is so important in colombia for that reason.
