Probably each of you heard that in Germany there are many different dialects. So this is the most serious problem of saving motivation for those who have just started learning the language.

My husband and I live in Munich, but his relatives live in eastern Germany and moreover in a small village. Especially in a small village, people definitely do not have a desire to use the standard German language for a beginner. You learned the language for long, you understand so much, you talk on the topic of migration or politics, and again …At one moment you cannot understand that you were asked ‘is it a strong tea or not‘… -_-

One more detail is interesting. Three months ago, I was glad to hear a few familiar words in a row and say 1 or 2 sentences. At this level, it seemed to me that the dialect was not very strong from what I had learned. The second time, I was shocked by how the same German language can differ, depending on where you live. In Russia, this does not exist. 

What to do with it, I have not decided yet. Learning all dialects is not possible. It is possible to learn one or two dialects, but in the first year of study, this greatly hinders the study of German as a whole. If someone has any ideas, write in the comments or to my mail rouva@mail.ru.
