Thursday, 12:00 – 1:30 PM ET: Oct. 16, 23, 30, Nov. 6, 13, 20, Dec. 4, 11, 18, Jan. 8
Course Goals: Build your basic reading, speaking, and writing skills, and learn fundamentals of grammar through the communicative approach. This course will teach how to do things (verbs), how to say no (negation), how to describe things (adjectives), how to have things (possessives), and vocabulary about family, professions, and physical appearance.
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 some review and then proceed with chapter 5. Those who would like to join us can review the early chapters in advance.
