Students will continue learning from Colloquial Yiddish, starting with a review of grammar already learned in BWC’s Fall Advanced Beginner, 1st semester class and moving further ahead. Additionally, songs and various multi-media materials will be used to expose students to current and historical Yiddish culture and to strengthen conversation skills and Yiddish reading ability.

Level: Geared to students who have taken Advanced Beginner, Semester 1 at Boston Workers Circle.  Newcomers who already know the alef-beys and present tense, have some familiarity with the past tense and can understand, speak, read and write simple sentences in Yiddish are welcome to join.

Materials: New students should purchase Colloquial Yiddish at The Yiddish Book Center or Routledge Textbooks or at other on-line sites.
