Exophony: Voyages Outside the Mother Tongue

Grandmother Tongue

I studied my mother tongue till 5th grade and repeated a lower level till 8th grade due to change in syllabus. I wonder how my writerly senses would have developed differently in both languages or any other languages.

'differences between spoken Swiss German and standard German and what those differences mean for Swiss Literature" - I was able to understand this where my language is more of spoken and casual while written is more formal.
