*Swiss people diferentiate between "Schriftdütsch" and "Schwiizerdütsch". The first is what is taught in schools. The second covers various dialekts. The first is used in legal documents and many other communications and is regulated countrywide. It is very similar to what is used in Germany, Lichtenstein and Austria. To learn that, refer to the German lessons until you have a high level, then use resources used in Switzerland to refine the details. The second has no official spelling or pronounciation regulation. Every couple kilometers the pronounciatian changes slightly and some words are only used in very small regions. So don't be surprised to find seemingly conflicting spelling and word choices from the different teachers in the Swiss German lessons and topics.
