Thank you all!
Sunnyvalley - I'm a little further down - from a small country called Slovenia
Oh I see you are from Switzerland
we have a very kind retired couple from there as our neighbours (husband is Swiss, wife is Slovene). I smalltalk with him in german for which he is very grateful because he still has problems with our language (which I totally understand, because it's quite complex) - he said that it's more difficult for him than speaking French
