My Story
I’ve never learnt Yiddish. I know very little about the language.
But after teaming up with Moshe Sherizen, the author of The Easy-Shmeezy Guide to Yiddish, for this video, I do now know a few things, including that there’s lots of fun slang words!
Resources
The Easy-Shmeezy Guide to Yiddish – Moshe himself has this great resource to get you started with Yiddish. Woop!
Yiddish.biz – a good range of materials to get you started and take you as far as lower-intermediate with the language.
Memrise – this thorough Memrise course includes audio – yay!
