Ot Azoy! Yiddish Crash Course 2006
Sunday 6—Friday 11 August
Ot Azoy’ means ‘This is the way’ and it really is the way to learn Yiddish, quickly and easily and with lots of fun and friends. Beginners will be taken through the Hebrew-Yiddish alphabet (much easier than it looks), will learn some every-day vocabulary and a generous helping of grammar, so that by the end of the week you will be able to string together your first sentences in Yiddish! Intermediate and more advanced Yiddish speakers will be given more challenging texts and grammatical lessons and will get lots of opportunities to converse in this extraordinary language. Who says Yiddish is Kaput? This will be t he 5th JMI Yiddish Crash course directed by Khayele Beer of University College London and with expert tuition from Peysakh Fiszman of New York and Sonya Pinkusowitz of the Buber Institute in Brussels . Learn Yiddish also through song with Yiddish Singer Shura Lipovsky from Amsterdam and through Yiddish films selected and introduced by Barry Davis. For complete beginners to advanced students in four levels. (read about Ot Azoy! 2005 and see the comments and pictures)
