Answer 1 » RE: Moved to Switzerland

Welcome to Switzerland soon!

Yeah, in Geneva the folks speak French only, not German. It's worth for you to learn some French. And the LSF, la Langue Signée Française (The French Sign Language) is dominating there. Learn or die

And check out the website of SGB-FSS, they are the deaf association number one in Switzerland.

Good luck, Geneve is beautiful and the Deaf people there are cool.

Cheers

Answer 4 » Preparations to move to Switzerland

Hello Alejandro Cabrera,
As far as I am concerned, you mentioned you would be moving to Zürich instead of Geneva. That information would signify a big difference between living in a Swiss French community and the Swiss German speaking communites.
If Zürich, then welcome to the Swiss German city. It would be very helpful if you have some knowledge in a written German. You could always apply to the Swiss National Association of the Deaf ( as Michel wrote earlier- www.sgb-fss.ch enroll in a private sign language class.
Once you are settled down, may I recommend that you go to Sichtbar Gehörlose Zürich ( an umbrella organisation serving the needs for the living citizens in the Canton Zürich. Good luck.
with regards

Hello,

I am planning to visit Zermatt, Switzerland in the future. Any deaf community, deaf clubs, deaf events in Zermatt? Zurich? Geneva? Ticino? I would love to meeting swiss deaf people in Switzerland because I am part of Swiss in my blood. I would like to learn Swiss culture like food, drinks, etc. Where can I find information about pharmacy technician job in Switzerland?
