It will be difficult, yes, like any other language you learn. Do you need to necessarily take German? will it benefit you?

Well I guess there is a benefit that I travel to switzerland and have cousins there who speak german. but apparently swiss german and german are completely different. The other benefits would be it looks good on a uni application or its a skill that can be used. Aside from the obvious ones there isnt many. its more a passion that I know i'll never be able to make time for unless I do the gcse.

I’m not an expert but Swiss German and German are not different languages. Swiss has a funny accent and a (slightly?) different dialect, which I guess could confuse the examiner. You could do German gcse at your school and see if they could enter you to do it a year early with the year 11s. I hope this helps😀

most people doing gcse german have already done the basics for 2 years and even then many people didnt do so well.

Just wanted to say I'm swiss and I speak swiss german and I did german GCSE. Unless you are fluent in swiss german, it will not help you to know swiss german because they are actually very different.
The grammar and words are very different. For example to say work in German is 'arbeiten' whereas in swiss it is 'schaffen'.
If you don't know any german then don't do it- German is a hard language to learn in just 2 years.

If you think it's worthwhile, then possibly go for it.
