Salzburg - Post Report Question and Answers
How much of the local language do you need for daily living? Are local language classes/tutors available and affordable?
You could live in Salzburg without knowning German if you wanted. However, I would advise learning enough to be able to navigate the transportation systems, go grocery shopping, ask directions, understand numbers, eat in a restaurant, and salutations. Most people will speak English, especially those under 30ish, but not everyone will (and outside of the tourist areas is where you go to the mom and pop places).They will also really appreciate the effort and it will just make your life easier to get a few things down. - Mar 2011
