Finally, a Yiddish class for everyone.
Yiddish is more than a language: It's a culture, a tradition, a vital connector to past generations of Jews around the world. And that can make it feel a little intimidating.
Thankfully, My Jewish Learning has set up a course designed to help anyone get a taste of the language and its cultural significance.
Whether you want to learn some basic phrases or strive to have entire conversations in the language, this curriculum, designed by Tel Aviv University instructor Daniel Birnbaum, will help you achieve your Yiddish goals.
If you're starting from square one, don't worry — your purchase of this class comes with all of the materials from our first Intro to Yiddish class from this fall, so you can learn the basics at your own pace!
Each week for seven weeks, you will receive:
-Expert instruction from a teacher who has guided students at all levels and from all over the world
-Recordings of each class to rewatch — and they never expire
-A textbook designed by your teacher with optional homework exercises
-Extra worksheets to practice the alphabet and other crucial topics
-Access to a community of fellow enthusiastic learners from around the world
We can't wait to get learning with you!
This purchase is non-refundable.
