Reply To: what is your worst language? what's ur favorite?

CG, the incidennt I described in fact happened in Bene Beraq but I am also an observer of the Yerushalkayim scene. Ltvaks speak Hebrew or English (there is a large immigrant population)except for a few who are old enough to have learnewd with European-born rabbanim. Chassidim are divided.Most speak Hebrew but some, especially in Mea Shearim speak Yiddish for political reasons.In any case, one can easily get along in either city without knowing a word of Yiddish.
