My old horse trainer was Swiss, so we rode horses that "spoke" Swiss/German, It's odd looking at my riding style it's very European, and I occaisionally would find myself saying the few words I knew in Swiss too .
off topic but - I just finished reading Water for Elephants. Have you read it? The elephant only understands commands in Polish and everyone thinks she's stupid till they figure it out. That part is really cute and it's a great book.
