Music, history and culture will be an incorporated part of the classroom experience. Instructor: Daniella HarPaz Mechnikov
Nokh Mer Yiddish—Yiddish for the post-Beginner: 6:15-7:15 p.m., every other week
This class will use literature, news, music and culture to further conversation and grammar skills. This class assumes a basic knowledge of the Yiddish language. Students who have speaking/comprehension skills but no reading/writing may still join the course and will learn to read in the beginning of the class. The class will use a course pack of selected readings. Instructor: Daniella HarPaz Mechnikov
Yiddish Vinkl: Tuesdays, 6:30-7:30 p.m., every other week, or when formal
Yiddish classes are not in session.
This class is intended to offer support to those in the formal Yiddish language classes. We will do homework together, try out our conversation skills, read short texts and have a forum for asking questions about Yiddish language, grammar and conversation.
This group is free to those enrolled in one of the Yiddish language classes.
