It helps if you have at least basic knowledge of the German language because the average Austrian doesn't speak too much English, and a simple task such as buying groceries would be ridiculously complicated because everything is written in German.
If you will be staying in Vienna, it'll be easier for you to get adjusted since it's a more multi-cultural city than the rest of the country. If you'll be staying in any of the other "Bundeslaender", prepare yourself for a more traditional and slower-paced way of living.
In general, Austrians are pretty laid-back, and this also applies to the non-German-speaking foreigners - they're not gonna hate you or bug you, but they're not gonna be smothering you with attention either. I guess that may be because there are relatively few foreigners in the provincial areas and it's unfamiliar for them to mingle with them, especially if they don't speak the same language as you do.
You'll definitely love staying in Austria, as the environment, the Pace, the food, and everything is really awesome and good for your health, too! But the one advice I can give you is t brush up n your German language skills and take the initiative to get to know people there, and you'll be able to integrate really quickly into the community.
And do not turn down any invitation for "Fruehschoppen" (beer and a hearty snack in the morning)! That's where all the fun begins! Good Luck! |

I grew up in Vienna, and had a great childhood. There are many ex-pat groups for Americans that meet regularly and pursue interests like hiking and music and tennis etc.. Try the US embassy if you can get past security, or the American International School or UNIDO the large UN complex for ideas. |

Yes, I was going to say that there is a large expat community here. So, you'll manage. Most Austrians speak at least a little English, too. Still,picking up a few words of the local vernacular might not be amiss. |
