I'm a German major and I'm going to be doing my studying abroad in Bavaria. Am I going to end up with a stupid accent? (no offense if you're Bayerisch yourself, it's not as bad as the Swiss accent)

Koaxke posted:As others have said unless you go to a more rural area you won't see it too much. The schools (even in rural areas) all speak Hochdeutsch so you shouldn't have a problem. And Bayrisch isn't so much an accent, it's closer to a different language than anything. I had friends from northern Germany come and visit for Oktoberfest and they couldn't understand about 1/2 the stuff that was being said due to Bayrisch being so different. Oh poo poo I can only understand like half of what's being said anyway.

I'm taking a Western European course and she seems like the blandest person with the most boring agenda ever-not that any of the other candidates are any better. Angela, not Andrea. As an American who knows very little about her I find her kind of endearing. \/\/\/ That's one of the reasons she's endearing. Angie
