Not just Austria, "Grüß Gott" is common in southern Germany where I am. Like "Moin moin" is in northern Germany I suppose. It took me a good two months to figure out what the people here say as a goodbye--"Adi" (not sure of the spelling) The dialect and slang here are killing me! But solala I've definitely heard before. Not in the Mir geht es solala like you wrote.. more of just an answer to "Wie geht's?"
Not really a Southerner.. I just moved here :) Where are you from? I'm just outside of Ulm, finding the dialect to be a bit problematic but I suppose I'll eventually get used to it.
I for one am slightly north of Ingolstadt in a smaller city named Eichstaett - we do have a university though, so we rule... *snickers* And yeah... Odd dialect... Down here it's striaght Bavarian while I originally come from Franconia...
You mean like a shortened version? Like "Wie geht's?" "Solala.."?
I think the website just tries to be very proper and simple. (And screwing up in a couple things that bug me.. misspelling 'Tschüß/Tschüss" and insisting that the forms of "Du" have to be lowercase, which, if I understand correctly, is not strict here.)

Also "dir" is just another form of "du", which is: you... It's in the dative case, third one therefore... Hope that helped...
And greetings to the fellow Southerner...

Aside from generally memorising everything, the cases are, I think, the most difficult part of German for me.. so far, anyway.
