In pratica è quello che dice il titolo. Voglio trasferirmi in Svizzera (e lavorare lì) dopo la laurea e ho sentito che imparare la lingua è davvero importante per integrarsi nella società. Quindi se qualcuno può darmi un consiglio su dove iniziare a imparare la lingua, gliene sarei grato.

Most important advice: Learn regular German – not Swiss German.
Swiss German is essentially a very heavy dialect of regular German and speaking regular German is perfectly acceptable in Switzerland.
The first steps you could do with a language learning App like Duolingo or Babbel, but there are tons of language courses available throughout Switzerland.
As an expat, I strongly recommend learning German first and then maybe doing a Swiss German course. I’m not saying this particular course is not good, but as someone who had at first zero knowledge of German, I couldn’t imagine trying to learn Swiss German without knowing German first.
Depending on where you live, you can even get subsidised courses.

Once you have a good handle on German, then you can move on to Swiss German. You’ll pick it up through daily use and if you wish to accelerate your learning, some language schools like Migros Klubschule offer Swiss German courses that are quite effective.

I’ve been a fluent speaker for over 20 years now and doing it this way, learning German first and then Swiss German, greatly helped me. Of course, YMMV.
How good is your [Standard German](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Standard_German)?
If your Standard German is not good, barely there, or non existent, do not even think about starting with Swiss German, it’s like learning Scots before learning English: A fun activity with limited usage.
Rather improve and learn Standard German. Can be any teacher, from Germany, Austria, or Switzerland. A teacher from Switzerland has the advantage to introduce you to Swiss Standard German and the local accent.
who on earth uses Comic Sans unironically?
My gf uses this one
