Course Goals: Build your basic reading, speaking, and writing skills, and learn fundamentals of grammar through the communicative approach. This course will teach you how to describe things — now with the proper endings. Also lots of vocabulary for professions, activities, family, physical appearance, foods, furniture, and how to say what you like!
This course teaches classic literary Yiddish with a focus on Polish Yiddish pronunciation and some attention to dialect differences. This approach helps students understand how most speakers sound today while also gaining access to the language of great writers such as I.L. Peretz and Isaac Bashevis Singer.
Course Tools: In Eynem by Asya Vaisman Schulman, Jordan Brown, and Mikhl Yashinsky along with supplementary materials provided by the instructor. We will do a little review and then proceed with chapter 9. New students of any dialect background are welcome!
