• E82 - To lüft or not to lüft?

  --- Send us your questions ---Let the sunshine (and fresh air) in! In this episode we talk about the Swiss ritual that plays out daily in homes, offices, and schools across the country: Lüften. It’s the practice of throwing windows open wide and letting fresh air circulate through rooms and buildings. But why is Lüften so important to the Swiss mindset? As always, we’ll give you some insights, but mostly personal experiences of living with the fresh air in Switzerland.00:00 - Intro01:50 - Listener Feedback07:08 - To lüft or not to lüft"Korrektes Lüften" BAGDifferences between summer and winterSwiss lüfting "rules"15:26 - Swiss bytesFederal Statistical Office17:36 - Learning Swiss German: Dürzug20:22 - Listener poll...Join the community ChatSubscribe to the free newsletter...Send your questions:Drop us an email: [email protected] a voice message to play on the show +41 76 282 67 66Find us on Bluesky: Jo and SimonFind us on Instagram...Subscribe on iTunes, Spotify, YouTube Music Other ways to subscribe
