I am planning to move to Switzerland and I´ve heard about the different languages in Switzerland! So I want to improve my Spanish, which part of Switzerland is the best?

Try the Swiss Riding School in Barcelona 
In Switzerland?? Spanish?? As a Spanish speaker, I would advise Lausanne or Geneva's area as there is the biggest Spanish Community and a lot of Spanish cultural centres. No other choice as in Switzerland there is no Spanish as official language!

None, it's a swiss-german, french and italian speaking country predominantly.
More people from Spain are in Geneve by statistics though.

There's a neighborhood in Zurich called Tapas-Strasse, and i think they speak Spanish over there. If not, try rue du Toro in Geneva, or Piazza de Paella in Ticino.
Comme on Maaike, you know CH isn't Spanish speaking...

Maaike, Charlie said it but seeing is believing . . . .
I'm actually not Dutch ;)
Errrr ... I thought Europe was a country? 
Hey now, it's not our faults! All that bleach leaking through our scalps has to go somewhere, it just so happens that our brains make for collateral dammage.

OK, threat registered, I'm backing off...
Ever wonderd what "unfathomable" meant? Well... take a look:
Blondes have many talents that should most certainly not be overlooked.
This video is completely irrelevant, but I sincerely suggest you watch it.

Liv: I laughed each time she did that face...the best part is that it's such a silly looking face but the woman looks so serious when she does it! I admit I tried it too (in fact I have the face on right now!) and I feel younger already!

Nir, that lady is 31 years of age, not 61. Those stretching exercises actually turn your neck into turkey wobble, and the face ones will give you bushel baskets under your eyes and squirrel cheeks that look as if you had a walnut stuffed into each one.
Might I suggest signing up to HP for a good workout, say for . . . . . just a year and get one more year thrown in for the price of two.

Liv... its "SPORADIC"........(not sporatic)
Occasional poor spelling is a symptom of the blonde disease. I also SPORADICALLY forget my own name, sometimes find it challenging to remember to put on undergarments and have accepted that "like" is the most frequently used word in my vocabulary.
