Dieter,

Don't feel bad about all the different dialects of German, we have the same problem in the US. I live in the upstate part of South Carolina and traveling approx. 200 miles to the coast, and the dialect changes. Some of the people in the lower area are difficult for me to understand sometimes. When you go from the South to the North, the dialect changes. The folks in the North talk a lot faster than the folks in the South.

I think this is a universal problem in most countries with dialect changes. Also, wording phrases in one part of the US is much different in other parts.
