3 Introducing Simu and "How are you?" in Mundart

March 17, 2021 • LingoLuke

Welcome to Learn Bernese for Life, a resource of Acquire for Life.

In this episode, you meet Simu a Berner from the Swiss countryside. Then together we walk through how to greet and ask "how are you?" in an informal situation with a friend, and also a formal conversation with someone like a neighbour.

1. Informal dialogue between friends.

Simu Mike

Hallo Mike

Hey Simu

Geits guet?

Ja, säber o?

Ok, meh gsehtsech.
