Online Yiddish course

 
Check back for details about our Online Yiddish course.
 
Experience the richness of Yiddish literature -- and Yiddish humor --in the original; learn about the Hasidic world through tales and songs; and learn to speak, write, and read Yiddish while exploring American and East European Yiddish literature, film, theater, and klezmer music. There are no prerequisites, and no knowledge of any Jewish language is expected.
 
By the end of the term, students should be able to converse in Yiddish on a variety of topics and to read simple Yiddish texts.
