Oh I'm enjoying these videos so much! I have very fond memories of my father and grandmother speaking Yiddish at the kitchen table ❤ I look forward to learning and keeping this glorious language alive 🥰

[erisjola]

As a German speaker I am shocked by how well I can understand what you were saying in Yiddish

The thought and planning that went into these videos make them memorable. Also the sincerity of the presenter.

[hoffthechain]

I’m so glad I just found this! What a WONDERFUL RESOURCE!

[cfchh]

Well done video - I will listen to them all.

[ioannisloukas]

I like that you are explaining the culture behind the sentences

[georgesfotic]

Compliments for your course !

It is really interesting realize how much the jewish culture is plural and one at the same time.
Yiddish, Ladino, Hebrew.. Ashkénaze, Séfarades .
I learnt german at school in France as the second foreign language after english and serbian as the third.

It is possible to understand some words in yiddish (I decided to learn) thanks to german.
My older schwester who has been learning Hebrew for about 6 years offered me a Yiddish-french dictionnary very fruitful

I think I'm going to become slightly obsessed with these videos!

[dannylojkovic]

I am an advanced German learner and I am so surprised at how much I know. This language is insanely interesting! I love seeing how this language clearly developed out of what we now know as German. Although, I have heard there are numerous dialects of Yiddish, some that are more Germanic and others that are more Slavic. Regardless, great video!

[Simply_put_it]

Very helpful and its been years since ive studied something but i want to learn

[Nobody-evcl]

Omg! These are soooo good! I'm having so much fun learning from these videos. 😍

[maxfullerton]

Oh my god. Yiddish is so close to Pfälzisch(Southwestern German dialect). I understand every word they say. It's crazy.

[jaffasholva]

Wow, i never knew this language before and i can understand 90% of it because i am dutch, knowing a little german ?
Seriously i am blown away haha

[StephenRosenbach]

Well done and very charming... a dank!
