Why it is worth learning Turkish
Switzerland is considered a prime example of multilingualism. The country with four officially recognised languages is proud to be the small linguistic Babel of Europe. In Switzerland, alongside German, French, Italian and Romansh other languages like Portuguese, Albanian, Spanish, Turkish and many other languages are spoken. 6.6 percent of people in Switzerland speak these languages.
Anyone interested in the culture of migrants in Switzerland is definitely advised to take a language course and learn these languages. Furthermore, most migrants to Switzerland come from countries with tourist attractions. Turkey, Spain and Portugal in particular are among the tourist countries that become much more interesting when you learn their national language.

A very important aspect here is migrant children who cannot speak their parents' language or need to improve it. A child or young person with Turkish parents has better communication opportunities with their Turkish environment in Switzerland, but above all in Turkey, thanks to a good knowledge of Turkish. In addition, having good language skills leads to better career prospects.

Children of parents from different cultural backgrounds can also gain a better understanding of both cultures by attending a language course.
