I managed to get a C2 level certification (TOEFL test, certification level is awarded according to the results in a common test, C1 was needed for master's degree) in very large part thanks to Top Gear and OF.

Nah... Code switching gets you major points for style. :thumbup:
Actually speak? Uhm, two. Three if ordering ice cream counts as speaking a language. Or when I'm drunk and mix up my English and German I speak Dutch...does Swiss German count?
Alright, just two...

Well, when we Germans speak about Swiss German, we mean Jörg Kachelmann (who was from the rather German Schaffhausen) or the Seitenbacher advertisements (Which are also in (low) Alemannic dialect).
Not the Klingon dialect that is really spoken down there. :lol:

In my expierience, when Germans speak about Swiss German, they're thinking of swiss people speaking actual high-german with a terrible accent... :lol:

From what I've seen more so in northern Europe, but at least some basic proficiency is commonly found.
I actually grew up near and spend a lot of time in [ame="http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kleinwalsertal"]this area[/ame] of Austria, which was inhabited from Valais. I speak their dialect, although at this point you might argue it got mixed up with Swabian and other Alemannic dialects.
Also you could argue that "Swiss German" as one common thing doesn't really exist since there's quite a difference within it. Then again the same goes for Bavarian and East Frisian...

I told you. Dolfy will bring down the whole of Fuhrerbunker from his ear-drum busting shouting and banging if you let Fegelien in.
"Fegelien!"
"Fegelian!"
"FEgelian!!"
"FEGELIEN!!!!!!!!!"
