Well, I am American so my native language is english. Switzerland has four national languages - german, french, italian, and romantsch (similar to latin). The greater majority speak german, with french following behind. Most information (in trains, signs, etc) is given in at least two when not 4 languages. Most people here speak english, too.

I speak fluent German. That comes from living here for 7 years, and my studies. In spring I will move to a town where French is more predominant, so I am looking forward to improving in that area, too.
