Na viel Spaß in Vorarlberg 😂😂😂

[@CEKROM]

Österreichisch ist das gut gereifte Deutsch =D

[@lizbond9261]

DAMN their german is really good

[@zacc.7206]

That double leg grab was very intense.

[@stuecklschwaiger]

You didn't teach them Oachkatzlschwoaf. Foreigners who don't know Oachkatzlschwoaf don't really know Austrian dialect yet :)

[@moritzp.2920]

"Schluckauf"

[@AzrentheLanguageNerd]

I wish Babbel posted more videos!

[@ne7144]

Bin Österreicher und habe bei dem Versuch der Beiden, Österreichisch zu sprechen kaum etwas verstanden 😂

[@jungi001]

Das war ja mal richtig scheiße erklärt. Wär ich kein Österreicher oder vielleicht sogar nicht Deutsch-Muttersprachler hätte ich das keinesfalls kapiert.

Very fun to watch this video being an Austrian !

Wie/ Wo kann ich Deutsch Lehrern finden die Oberösterreichisches deutsch unterrichten?

[@jonny4213]

das dumme daran ist, dass diese phrasen ja keine phrasen sind oder nicht wörtlich übersetzbar wären. sowas wie "pock mas" sind im österreichischen dialekt einfach die wörter packen und wir+es und "sammas"= sind wir es ( als frage )

There's a Problem with that, you can't teach them a type of Austrian and call that a unitary austrian. As there are many dialects in the common german, in Austria we have many dialects, from the well known "wienerisch" to the very unique "vorarlbergerisch". That means that you can't really teach them austrian.

Great video. I live in Austria and struggle between learning German and only hearing Austrian German. It's a much slower learning process but I'm getting there :-) I think!

[@grahampinkerton2091]

Oachkatzlschwoaf is also used in Bavaria. Oachkatzlschwoaf or in Hoch deutsch Eichhörnchenschwanz (Squirrelstail)

[@maeraich5423]

I'm half Austrian/half British and this video is very confusing for my brain (I can't really tell what language they're speaking in unless I think reeeaallly hard idk why)

[@monkeycheese301]

haha, in the mountains every valley has its own unique dialect. For me as austrian, its hard to understand roughly 40% of my people. Good luck you brits, learning it from a viennese, that dont even talk her own dialect

[@darlinp.4083]

I'm sorry but that was pretty bad.. i understand that german is not their native language, but you can't learn a dialect like this. All the federal states in Austria speak different dialects...

[@tru7hhimself]

their pronounciation of "sammas" is horrible. in austria and "s" is always an "s" and never a "z". we have less distinct consonants (but more vowels) than standard german.
