They chose Berne, presumably as it was fairly centrally located, and close to the division between the French-speaking and German-speaking parts of Switzerland. Geneva is located in the corner of the country, is surrounded on three sides by France, and is sometimes described as "the least Swiss of all Swiss Cities". But still a great place to live.
Different people have different strengths, some will find German easier, others will find French easier. In my opinion, French is easier. According to the US Department of State, it takes English speakers 26 classroom hours to become fluent in French, and 30 classroom hours to become fluent in German. So they are very close.
Dialects are not really considered as separate languages. The main part of Switzerland speaks Swiss-German (so, that's not German...). They learn the "real" German at school... The Swiss "language" (if we talk about this main part) is so close to German because these regions (Germany, Switzerland, Austria) are related traditionally - close cultural roots. This can be said for the other parts of Switzerland, too. They are traditionally relatively close to France and Italy... and yes, the speak French and Italian (and there's a fourth language in Switzerland, too).
