This is “Engineers around Germany”, the podcast show where I interview inspiring engineers, who are working in a German speaking country telling us their story and experience with their German project.
I’m thrilled to introduce my guest tonight Jean-Christophe.
Jean-Christophe is a Software Engineer from France. He worked in Cork, Ireland at IMTF Software as a developer and in 2007 he decided to move to Switzerland. Today he’s working at Liip AG a company that builds tailor-made websites and mobile applications for their customers.
In this episode, you’ll learn:
- How to get a job in Switzerland just speaking English

The German adjective declension is weird? Imagine knowing exactly when to say “groß, große, großen, großem, or großer “. To completely understanding these endings after just one lesson. Without scrolling through weird grammar books. Without memorizing tons of tables.
