@VoidTorcher For me and most of the other Swiss and Austrian people, it's easy to even understand fastly spoken standart German. And we learn in school that we only have to talk in standart German. ONLY. It's harder the other way around. I don't know how it works in your language but we sometimes have different words, pronounciations and more, depending on the region we live in. And because we all learn Standart German (it's at least our official language) but no dialect, we have to comunicate with this version.
