It's German that I'm wanting to learn 5thhorseman, but for Switzerland and not Germany.
No I don't have audible, I was under the impression it was for american's only (I tried ages ago)
Oh, that's going to be a little bit different though. Even though they both speak german, the swiss accent is horrendously unintelligible.
I suggest you go to Switzerland, for the only german you're going to learn from tapes is Hochdeutsch. A few months living in Switzerland could cure that perhaps, developing some ear in the meantime, but it'd be best if you'd learn your german in Switzerland.
Yes that was the thing that has been bothering me since I decided to learn it. As I understood it standard german (Hochdeutsch?) is close to swiss standard german which is what I was aiming for first (used in their educational settings and their literature, which is where I would primarily use it), so no? So you think just book a flight to switzerland to learn it (Or maybe use the L-R method on swiss produced films/books, once I've decided on a dialect?), hmmm....
