I studied German back in high school and I got to quite a high level in fact. Allegedly by the time I finished high school I had a C1 level of German but that is most definitely not true (I also have a C1 level of English and even at the time my English was a million times better than my German)

In any case, because I have never practiced German since I left high school, my German proficiency has dropped like a rock. I imagine I must be somewhere around B1 levels if not lower.

So basic vacation German, enough to talk with a cashier or something, but if I ever moved to Germany or something I would have to re-learn the language.

Other words:

English: last year, High German: letztes Jahr/voriges Jahr, my dialect: feascht
English: armpit, High German: Achsel, my dialect: Iaxn
English: immediately/quick, High German: sofort/schnell, my dialect: huseg

How intelligible is your dialect with regular German? (Hochdeutsch I believe it is called?)
