What is the difference between "echt" and "wirklich"
Although it seems I ask many questions about the difference between words, I'll never learn if I don't! :)

I am curious if there is a difference between "echt" and "wirklich", and if so, what is that difference?

Answer

In colloquial usage both mean "Really?/For real?" or "No kidding?"
e.g. "Gestern ist mein Auto explodiert." - "Echt?"/"Wirklich?"

Otherwise, "echt" = "genuine" and "wirklich" = "real"
