And what language and region is it?

I’ve noticed my language teacher uses the informal you in one language and the formal one in the other.

    I’m in Austria speaking German and I’m learning French. Our rules for ‘du’ are very different from the ones in Germany though, and vary wildly regionally- from using ‘Sie’ for your drinking buddies to using ‘du’ for authority figures. From what I gather in this thread, the rules in Germany and France are similar?
