In this video, the Romansh speakers Gianna Olinda and Sidonia discuss struggles, difficulties and mistakes made in connection with being part of a minority language

They talk about different encounters with non-romansh-speaking people and their experiences navigating bilingual language-scapes. The visual accompanying their talk shows Sidonia's walk home during late spring.
