A Yidish Vort (A Yiddish Word)
Discover or rediscover the Yiddish language and culture without fear but with true freyd (joy)!
This beginner's conversational Yiddish course will draw on lively in-class discussion, art, film and song to help students learn to speak freely. By the end of the course, you will have a grounding in some fundamentals of Yiddish grammar, the confidence to produce your own idiomatic speech and familiarity with some of Yiddish culture’s unique treasures.
No knowledge of the Hebrew alphabet or proficiency in Yiddish is required as we will be starting fun breyshes (from Genesis)—that is to say, at the very beginning!
