*No scientist has ever said that. Ever.

You managed to get by in Vienna by only using the basics, such as “Oida”, “Heast” and “ZWEITE KASSA”! In order to not reveal yourself as a Zuagroasta (someone who moved to Vienna from somewhere else) whenever you need more than just your basic Viennese vocab, you definitely need to study some more Viennese slang! </span></p> <p> </p> <p> </p> </section> <section> <h3> <h2><strong>Almost a true Viennese</strong></h2> </h3> <p><span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000;">Let us guess, you either grew up watching “Ein echter Wiener geht nicht unter” every New Years Eve on ORF or you’ve been living in Vienna for quite some time! You might not be originally from Vienna, but damn, you know your Viennese almost like you grew up here! A little bit more of studying and you might will even be mistaken for a true Viennese someday. </span></p> <p> </p> <p> </p> </section> <section> <h3> <h2><strong>Ein echter Wiener</strong></h2> </h3> <p><span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000;"> Lucky you – You grew up in the most beautiful city in the world! You never had to study the Viennese language because you already talked like that when you were a little kid! Just by looking at your answers we can tell you’re full of charm and have got a lot of Schmäh, just like a true Viennese! </span></p> </section> <section> <h3> <h2><strong>The master of the Viennese</strong></h2> </h3> <p><span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000;">You completely master the Viennese language, in fact, if we wouldn’t know better, we would think you are the one who invented it! You should start teaching this beautiful language at the VHS, so everyone gets the chance to learn from the best! </span></p> </section> <p> </p> <p> </p> <p> </p> <p> </p> <p> </p> <p> </p> <p> </p> <p> </p> <p> </p> <p> </p> <p> </p> <p> </p> <p> </p> <p> </p> <p> </p> <p> </p> <p> </p> <p>
