Hoch Deutsch and Platt(more appropriately "flat" than low) Deutsch are very different. If for no other reason, Platt Deutsch has the concept of a "w". English derived from Platt Deutsch. Look at the word for "two". Hoch Deutsch it is "zwie". But Platt Deutsch has it as "twee". Which is closer? There are other differences. An English speaker has very little problem with Platt Deutsch. Hoch Deutsch is another thing.

You can understand the Swiss when they speak low German? Not me. Do you speak high German? Low German?
