We will learn Yiddish and learn about Ashkenazi culture in the past and present. Starting with the alef-beys (alphabet), we will introduce the fundamentals of reading and writing. We will listen to and discuss Yiddish songs, texts and videos connected to the seasons, festivals and Ashkenazi culture. Classes will be interactive and conversational and will emphasise learning with joy and community. By the end of the term, we will aim to be able to say, read, write and understand simple sentences in Yiddish.

This course is for students who have already completed one of our Absolute Beginners courses, or a similar course.
