- Yiddish Language 1 A (HEBR0042)
Learn to speak, read, write and understand Yiddish quicker than you can imagine! The module is for complete beginners.
Yiddish was the vernacular language of East-European Jews (Ashkenazim) and spoken by the majority of Jews prior to the Second World War. It is a Germanic language with significant Hebrew and Slavic components and with a vast literature. This is a chance to engage with this rich culture and its fascinating history.
Each class incorporates grammar and new vocabulary linked to a variety of topics and readings.
Texts will include simple dialogues and extracts from Yiddish folk culture as well as short easy literary pieces. Conversation practice is a feature of each class.
