    I grew up in Germany and later moved to Austria. I had problems with the accent and in other words, it took me three months to really integrate! Now 8 years later when I go to Germany people know to speak Austrian German and often look strange when I speak German and I get frustrated why Germans speak so slowly and have to pronounce every word and letter 😂 😂 In Austria every sentence is kept as short as possible and some letters are simply ignored when speaking!
    I love it ! Of course, when writing it is always real German, but when speaking it is different! The best thing is that Austrians have great words and phrases to express their anger 😂😂 very satisfying.

    This comes with Attachments. It destroys all relationships, as with it all individuals freedoms and Love and logic, which goes right out the window...Then all types of perversions set in bitterness, hatred, resentments and distrust. Besides marriage has never been a solution to anything of value. Don't forget marriage like all institutions were set up by Priests and Politicians to control the family unit. In actual fact Marriage is the Nail in the Coffin of Love... Marriage should never be a matter of convenience.😮

    Why she does not know he comes from Austria after 9 years of dating? 😬
    I do not expect ppl here to hear the difference between Germany and Austria, but at least she should know (although she's talking bout Schwarzenegger)
