My family is from an area called Tyrol though, which is a border area between Italy and Austria, so my German is smattered with Italian accentuation because most people there can converse in both languages. The problem with that is that my German sounds a little off to people who speak Nedderdeutsch or other northern dialects…kind of like when someone from Jamaica tries to speak to us. ---
