Up and down the mountain: a guide to Tyrolean Dialect

My introductory video from last September noted the importance of visiting all parts of Austria; and of the dialects spoken in different regions.

You can watch me attempting to learn the wonderful and challenging Tyrolean dialect in the video above.  Clearly it’s easier in a snowstorm; up a mountain; in the cable-car going down; or, best, all three.

A good teacher helps, too.  Thanks!

Otherwise, like every language, it’s all about motivation and hard work.

I will keep trying.

See also my blog about my visit to Tyrol, together with another short video. Guaranteed dialect-free.
