A foreigner would most certainly have quite problems - at least I think so <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/winkwink.gif" alt="" /> ) if he/she tries to speak "high German" in a rural area in Bavaria ... to me (my mother is from Bavaria), their dialect is the most difficult of all German dialects - at least in rural areas where people speak nothing but this dialect. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/winkwink.gif" alt="" />
The Bavarians are very capable (it seems to me) of putting things into one word. The question "Gemma ?" actually means "are we going to go ?" and is put into one word. There once was a movie about rebuilding Germany / Bavaria shortly after World War 2 : The movie had the title "Rama dama" - means "Räumen tun wir" ("räumen" with the prefix "eg" or "auf" actually means some sort of cleaning (up), and dama is a short form of tun wir - we do).
