Reply To: Good ways to go about learning Yiddish

I truly appreciate the encouraging replies from recent posters!

Working Mom, it is comforting to know that we, though thousands of miles apart, are in a similar boat, so to speak. I would very much like to have this ability to converse in Yiddish as well — I was thinking that it could really help as I get deeper into trying to find out just what happened on my mother’s side of the family when they left Germany for Brazil between the World Wars. Good luck in your journey of learning Yiddish; I’d be very interested to hear how it goes for you.

Nechomah, twisted, and thehock, thank you for all of your helpful suggestions! I had not even thought of the possibility of Yiddish radio. I think I will look into the yeshiva in Philadelphia as well and try to find some good books on line.
