Was it also a problem of the different dialects?
I do not think so. I can hear myself quite well. What irritated me at the very beginning was that I had to register when I went to see someone. We didn’t have that at home. What I also had to learn is that an invitation must always be followed by a return invitation. I’m not the type to count and add up. After the bombastic failure of my marriage, I also felt what is meant here by “köhrig”, that you just don’t get divorced. So I really thought about returning to Carinthia.
