    There is no Swiss language. Switzerland speaks German and French. Swiss German has different pronunciations than German. Below are the German pronunciations with the English translation:

    ạl•lo ~ hello

    bịt•te ~ please

    dạn•ka ~ thanks

    ạn vie ịch ge•lạn•gen ~ as I arrive at

    vo ịst dạs Ba•de•sim•mer ~ Where is the bathroom?

    These websites can help you pronounce words correctly.

    The words are actually German, which is one of the common languages (the other are French and Italian) of Switzerland.

    Hallo -- just like it looks, except the "H" is not pronounced -- so 'ah LO

    Bitte -- BIT uh (means please)

    Danke (DONK uh) means thank you

    An wie ich gelangen (don't know what this means, but it's pronounced Ahn vee ick gheLAHNghen

    Wo ist das badezimmer -- Vo ist dahs BAHduhzimmer -- "Where is the bathroom"
