Oy, eyne tsvey verter (Oh, just a couple of words)
Beginners’ Yiddish II
IN-PERSON
A continuation of our first semester of beginners’ Yiddish, this class is also open to anyone with a bisele experience with the language. As well as introducing basic grammar and vocabulary, we will cover the building blocks of Yiddish conversation and culture, including ways to describe our families, homes, holidays, people and places, sights and sounds that form the tapestry of our lives. Knowledge of the Hebrew alphabet is NOT required as all written texts will be transliterated into Latin characters. Even as we practice speaking, we will discover treasures of Yiddish culture in film, story and song.
