About me

Brazilian

Lives in Geneva

Registration: 08 August 2013

About

My name is Cíntia, I’m a blogger, journalist and social media expert born and raised in São Paulo, Brazil. I moved to Geneva, Switzerland, in January 8th, 2013. I’m here to join my husband, who works in the financial sector. As you can imagine, it is quite a life change for us. Different country, continent, language, culture and, mostly, different weather… It’s being both very exciting and very challenging. The purpose of my weblog is to register my memories and share my experiences as a foreigner on this lovely country and city and to assist others in the same situation to adjust smoothly. There, you will find tips on restaurants, French classes, transportation, life hack, trips inside Switzerland and neighbor countries and curiosities about the Swiss way of life from a foreigner’s perspective. The name of the blog, “J’habite à Genéve”, means “I live in Geneva” and it’s one of the first sentences I learned in French (and will probably be yours too)!. You’re welcome to join me!

What's the main language there by shoutit

If I'm going to work on IT in Zurich whats the most valuable language I should learn. I already speak english very well. My doubt is would it be german or french?

cintiacosta

They speak Swiss German on Zurich. It's a bit different than "German German", they say, so you should take Swiss German classes! Read More
