Just out of curiosity, are you trying to test us to see how much geography we know? Maybe you should try talking to the Danish boy in Dutch, or perhaps to the Brazilian boy in Spanish... ;)
Or are you trying to make people think that Americans are stupid? Because a lot of us really do get satire (and really do know our geography), they just might not feel like answering the question. (and generally, we Americans don't need a lot of help in demonstrating our ignorance to the rest of the world... but there are non-ignorant ones among us, to be sure)

Swedish people speak Swedish not Swiss, Swiss people are from Switzerland.

You have 2 problems; "Swiss" is not a language. They speak French, German, Italian, or Romansch. Also, the word "Swiss" describes Switzerland, not Sweden. You would use Swedish, and say Hej, pronounced "hey". Good luck

Why do you want to speak to a Swedish boy in Swiss? If he is Swiss, then 94% of the bland little fondue-noshing monkies speak either German or French. so try either of those.

PS - Don't call yourself "dumb" under any circumstances, there will always be plenty of uninformed people out there who will be happy to bash you without you doing it yourself! You aren't dumb, you just haven't had enough years to learn more than you know now.
