Austria is a particular country to learn german because of the different dialects in the country. But it's also interesting because we are forced to stay concentrated all the time and after a periode we could understand pretty well the people.

I wish I had known...
It's perhaps better to discover all in the place we go (almost some surprises, but not really bad ones, could occur)

Course recommendations
There is a system of "BLock" which consists in very long days during one week and then an exam at the end. It could be interesting for the people who want to do all very quickly and who support intensive program !
