“May have to learn some of the Austrian language in case I can go one day.” LOL I know what you did there. Mr. Mercat and I spent five weeks in Europe this fall, most of them in southern Germany, Switzerland, and Austria. The German I studied six months prior (four hours a day) was “High German.” It helped but only because the nice people in Switzerland and Austria also spoke that dialect and a lot of them spoke English. In the Alps whether Austria or Switzerland - there is something called “dialect” which they claim is a form of German but was totally incomprehensible to me. I guess its a bit like creole in either south LA or the Caribbean. Not that it sounds like that but the folks in LA and the Caribbean are not aware that they are not speaking English. I love languages. If I were starting over I would study as many different languages as I could. At 68 its a lot harder than it would have been at 9.
