What is the German perception of Ireland? Do you recognise an accent like Americans do? Would we be bunched in with English people? What are the of people from Mönchengladbach & Lübeck Like?

To prelude this I know every person is different and people have different personalities/perspectives. Also I know perception is different for everyone. For context, I’m going on an internship very soon and I’m worried on how i will come across to members of the company.

However, In general What are peoples opinions of Irish people? Is there a positive perception or would it be better not to mention that I’m from Ireland…..My Mother has worked in Germany in the 90s and gave up on differentiating between herself and a English person but on that point she didn’t have a accent while on the other hand my accent is considered quite ‘Culchie’, On that point would you notice a Irish accent? When Americans come to My village they have commented on it as if i was a exotic zoo animal, but i also feel like they might be less conditioned to a large variety of Accents (No hate to them). Should I try and tone it down? Anything that wouldn’t be tolerated in Germany compared to Ireland? Is talking about politics standard in the workplace? Additionally I originally was getting sent to Baden-Wüttenburg and got recommend to listen to podcasts from people in that region to adapt to their accent, Would you recommend anything to help me to adjust to people from Mönchengladbach & Lübeck’s accents? Do they have strong accents? Is there anything I should know about those areas? What are they like?

Thank you for reading, Have a good day.
