Switzerland Question

Long question about the swiss german.

When I went to Switzerland I couldn't understand what they were saying, even though I speak German. I know the dialect is very different but are the words different too? I was hoping that some of you Swiss guys could tell me :)

well all I know is that some things are shorter like "Ich Liebe Dich" (I love you in German) becomes "I Lieb Di" (not sure if I spell it the right way, it's just how I remember my friends from St.Gallen saying it) in Swiss German. But of course every place his it's different nuances and if you spend some time with a particular group you will end up understanding them (I'm Dutch and could figure it out after a while), but don't ask me to talk Swiss German because I wouldn't know how to...

Any words are diffrent, but when you speaks German the most people understand you and speak German with you. It comes on it where you goes, so the Wallis has a very specially Swissgerman and I don't understand it, even I'm Swiss.
I hope I can help you and you understand my English xD
