Why are Austrian so cold?

发表在 奥地利论坛 14 Jul 2010, 09:46

Seems like they are not interested at all by foreigners... and even that they don't like them. Austria is a lovely country so I don't get why his inhabitants are acting like that.
I feel a little bit rejected there...

  Misunderstanding?

  发表  Pseudo Nym 在 奥地利论坛 28 Feb 2011, 14:03

  Is this a misunderstanding about the Germanic culture? I don't find Austrians cold in the slightest. I guess it helps a lot if you speak the language, but like all Germanic people, once you are in familiar 'Du' form they are enormously welcoming. It's only that they make a clear distinction between the public/formal/respectful 'Sie' form, and the warm/personal/friendly 'Du' form. Are you not meeting people in the right social circumstances?

  Not so cold

  I don't think Austrians are really so cold. My family on my mum's side live in Austria. I have noticed a slower reaction to British sense of humour though, but I think thats universal.

  The german obstacle is the hardest about moving here I think, but if you're positive and make a choice to learn a little each day then it gets better. My german is getting better but I felt the same way when I first arrived. Ya let me know if you have some time to meet up. IVe been in Austria 2,5 yrs now but in Vienna since January so there still lots for me to see.
  Good luck guys!

  How long you staying in Austria for?

  I been here for almost 4 months and still feeling lost.... everyone seems to be closed to themselves. Finding it hard to find places to meet people, especially when they realise you dont speak German.
