Peut-être que vous avez vu ce post sur r/France récemment, je me demandais comment c'est vu en Suisse Romande les test de paternité? De ce que je sais, il n'y a pas de restrictions sur les test de paternité dans toute la Suisse, est-ce que vous êtes d'accord avec cette politique du gouvernement français de restreindre l'accès aux tests de paternité?

Si j'ai bien compris, c'est surtout à Abidjan que la majorité de la population parle Français. Même si le Français est la seul langue à l'école, les gens en dehors de la capitale ne maitrisent pas bien voire pas du tout le Français. Est-ce que il y a eu un changement de situation ou tendance ces dix dernières années?

Quant à l'Anglais, j'aurai tendance à supposer que pas beaucoup de gens ne le maitrisent.

Est-ce que la croissance de l'Internet a eu une influence positive sur le nombre de personnes qui apprennent/maitrisent l'Anglais et le Français? Et dans tout les cas, c'est surtout les jeunes qui parlent mieux le Français et l'Anglais?

I'm kind of confused. I have two iTalki informal (= not professional) tutors for a language since more than five weeks, and took lessons with both tutors basically every day until now (since it's summer break and I have time before college starts again). I kind of assumed until now that they knew I had another tutor. I do conversation practive the whole time since it's what I need.

Well today I joked with one tutor that the conversation topics with her and the other tutors are completely different.

She was completely surprised and immediately asked me how often I take lessons with the other tutor, where she is from, etc. Like she was polite and it wasn't a big deal, but it was obvious she was surprised. Apparently she thought until now that I only take daily lessons with her.

Can't tutors see how often and with who I take lesson? The other tutor leaves a feedback after every lesson, don't those feedbacks appear on a student profile, similarly to how a student review appears on a tutor's profile and is publicly visible?

Somehow I had this question pop up on my mind. Currently on this sub there are several active posts in German and French on the sub front page with many replies in English.

Since there are regularly posts in German, French and Italian, aside of the English posts, I do wonder how often it happens that you see a post in German/French/Italian, but you don't understand it. Do you usually still click on the post, translate the title and participate in the comments in English, or do you ignore those posts alltogether?

I do wonder if there is a trend difference between expats/immigrants and local Swiss (i.e. Swiss-French/German/Italian who learned German/Italian/French in school but forgot due to lack of use)

EDIT: on a side note, I wonder how many other subreddits there are on Reddit where it's common to see posts in four different languages (English, German, French, Italian) with its users interacting together in English on those posts regardless of the post title language. It's so fun to see a post in German/French and everyone replies in English and it's like totally normal for users of r/Switzerland to do that.

Galenica AG, headquartered in Bern, is an internationally active Swiss pharmaceutical and logistics company group. It owns the two big Swiss pharmacy chains Amavita and Sun Store, as well as co-owns Coop Vitality with Coop.

Isn't it worrying that the number one logistic leader of pharma products in Switzerland also owns three of the five top retail pharmacy chains in Switzerland? BENU and TopPharm are the two remaining pharma chains with significant present throughout Switzerland (TopPharma only in Deutschschweiz), but both have less visibility than Amavita and Sun Store

I was totally not aware of this trend

Vu que une bonne connaissance du francais est un parametre important pour immigrer au Quebec, et que il y probablement peu de Suisses qui veuillent emigrer de manièe générale actuellement, est-ce que ça veut dire que c'est relativement facile d'immigrer au Quebec pour un Suisse? Est-ce qu'il y a des gens ici qui sont partis au Quebec, de maniere temporaire ou permanente ?

I've never seen so many stickers with "Tiefpreise" / "Prix bas" in a Migros / Coop than in the recent months. This makes me worry, what is going on? In my local Migros, I also see more and more empty shelves with the product sticker still shown, which I guess is for products that aren't delivered anymore because the manufacturer didn't agree to the price set by Migros

I kind of understand both sides, of course the customer doesn't want to pay too much in the current economic situation, but manufacturers also can't sell at loss obviously

Is this tendency here to stay? This kind of worries me
