More interesting to me, how the Swiss understand the three languages at once as native: Italian, Germany and Franch. One year ago I met Swiss who speak this three languages as native, and English in addition. That was umbelievable.
Not all Swiss people speak all three languages, my Swiss housemate only speaks French fluently (and English semi-fluently), she knows about as much German as I do (pre-intermediate level) and no Italian.
