Servus! Ich lerne jetzt Deutsch… and I would like to know: which “Austriacisms” ([Austriazismus](https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Liste_von_Austriazismen)) are actually in use among the younger generation? By Austriazismus I mean words used in Austria, and not used in DE/CH. I am interested in learning the Austrian variant of Standard German (NOT Boarisch) from the get-go, but don’t want to give myself too much work only to learn that people in Austria don’t actually use these words.

Would also be happy to get a link to the subreddit Discord or, otherwise, if anyone’s interested in a language exchange, I’m here… I speak English natively, some French/Hungarian, Serbian natively, and am 22M. Danke 🙂

P.S. I think I have the pronunciation pretty much down… always using /s/ when Germans would use /z/, using /i/ instead of /[ɪ](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Near-close_near-front_unrounded_vowel)/ in ich, pronouncing p and k without aspiration, pronouncing “t” more like /d/, “ä” like /e/ in R**e**de, and all schwa as either /e/ as in R**e**de, or as phonetic zero. If anyone else has any advice: always welcome.
