> By the way: there are only few "real Frankfurters" like me there (born and raised here with German parents...). Even other Germans mostly moved here from other cities. Within my close colleagues, I am the exception as someone who spent almost his entire life here. What that means: we are pretty open for everyone. We don't care where you are from, we don't prefer doing business with people that speak the local dialect (which might happen in other parts of Germany). As a German, who moved to Frankfurt, I second that notion. I feel very much at home here. I think you can never truely become a Münchner, you will always be foreign. And in Berlin it is kind of a meme, that you have to start hating the newly arriving Schwaben, as soon as you have been living there for more than 3 months. Everyone knows about local traditions in cities like Cologne and you think about these things, when moving there, while Frankfurt seems much more approachable. Guests visiting me are often amazed that there are actually quite a few cultural features specific to the region. Sounding like you come from Frankfurt (on a beginner level) is super easy, too. You just become lazier and stop pronouncing word-endings and use softer consonants.
