How difficult is it to learn German? Or is it actually easy? Mitar Pitzek is the owner of the Innes language school and in this episode I discuss everything about the German language with him. I also asked Mitar about the difference between the "German German language" and the "Austrian German language". And Mitar tells me about the "Viennese Grumpiness" and his favorite word in the German language - "der Trottel" :) 

Mitar´s hotspot in Vienna: The Naschmarkt https://www.naschmarkt-vienna.com/
The flea market on Saturday is already a cult. From dawn to dusk, a diverse crowd buys fruit, vegetables and various delicacies from all over the world at the Naschmarkt. More and more trendy bars and restaurants are also finding their place in the more than 120 market stalls.
