German

I've seen lots of discussion on how to pronounce "ch" and "g" in Hochdeutsche but I notice the sounds are very much softer in Schweizer-Deutsche (and also Nederlands - glad to know I'm not the only one who thinks Swiss German sounds a bit like Dutch).

 

Can someone explain the correct way to pronounce a soft "ch", hard "ch" and "g" in Swiss Standard German, Zurich dialect of Swiss German, Dutch standard Dutch, and Den Bosch dialect of Dutch?

@banjo67xxx I just came along this site; seems to be interesting for you: http://www.pholab.uzh.ch/forschung/laufende-forschungsprojekte/VoiceApp.html

 

I must admit as a native German speaker, that after learning Mandarin for a few weeks and watching the video on this site, my Mandarin listening skills appear to be not worse than my Swiss German listening skills .
