Beginners Yiddish Conversation 

Have you been wanting to learn Yiddish in an easy, fun and interactive way? Would you like to speak some Mameloshn, but don’t know how to read the alef-beys? Popular teacher Sharon Power uses transliterations, songs, proverbs and themes to help students build beginner-level Yiddish conversation skills. Join us virtually this winter! Nu? What are you waiting for? Students will build on their basic Yiddish speaking, listening, and comprehension skills through conversation, vocabulary activities, and working with Yiddish songs, proverbs, and other cultural materials. Themes will include the body, hobbies, family, food and cooking. This beginner-level course is suitable for those learning Yiddish for the first time, as a refresher for those with some prior Yiddish, or those who have already taken an introductory Yiddish course. Knowledge of the alef-beys is not required, as all materials will be provided in transliteration. Learn more.
