🌍

زمینه فرهنگی

Germans are often proud of their dialects (like Bavarian or Saxon). If they slow down and you still don't understand, they might be speaking dialect. You can then ask: 'Sprechen Sie Hochdeutsch?' (Do you speak standard German?). In Switzerland, 'Schwiizerdütsch' is the everyday language. If you ask a Swiss person to speak 'langsamer', they will often switch entirely to 'Hochdeutsch' (Standard German) to help you. Austrians are generally very polite and will appreciate the use of 'bitte'. Using 'Könnten' (subjunctive) is very common in Vienna to sound extra charming.
