I have never watched a more entertaining, informative and easy method for learning a language! Makes learning such fun! Bravo to the NYTF and Asheynem dank!

Loving this for my Jewish senior residents. I wish there were worksheets to go along! I'm trying to develop some so we can actually work on this independently as well as in a group.

I was hoping for the same thing...even though I'm learning on my own...something to download as a follow-up and then work with until ready for the next lesson.

5:52 is a jewel! The "u" and the "i" as in dus and git (and I would add vu zugste, zei gisint, mishiguene, a git yur!) sounds good to me! The old Galitsyaner woman looks and speaks exactly like my grandmother! I'm here because my Babele wanted me to learn some yiddish. I'm 65, time to get the work done!

In Galician Yiddish the word 'also' is pronounced 'oukh' with a diphthong that resembles the English vowel 'o' in the word 'oh'. In Bielorussian/Lithuanian Yiddish: eykh. In Ukrainian Yiddish: oikh or ekh. 'Sholem aleykhem' is a special greeting used in certain contexts. It is certainly not the equivalent of the English 'hello', which can be used every day of the week.

Fantastic., SO easy to understand. I am from the State of IOWA, and I remember hearing different languages and the words you are teaching. Thanks 🕎

Gentile who just loves languages and cosplay here. I love love love your characters Motl they're so charming!! 🤗

Im thrown back some 25 years and learning German in school

I am 3 years late to the party. Your Wayne character acts so much like Gene Simmons 😂

Beautifully presented, engaging and very enjoyable! Thank you so much, dear Motl. Sei gezunt!

I love this! I have no connection to Yiddish at all but this is fascinating. I'm currently learning Welsh, so I think I understand the desire to learn a minority language

Thank you, Motl, for your funny and useful introduction into Yiddish.

זייער גוט! ❤

Thank you so much for this lesson! I've been interested in learning Yiddish but had no idea where to start,

I've heard 'mein nomen iz ...' in yiddish many times as well as ikh heys

Probably due to English influence. Most languages say "I'm called" including German "ich heisse" I call myself.

Thank you so much, I was looking for such lessons for a long time. And its so interesting, usefull and funny😃👍🥳👏👏👏

Thank you for this lesson and its fabulous presentation. I've just recently decided to try Yiddish and this makes so much fun.

*Gracias* *Argentina*

I liked when he said ‘awkward’ cos German-speaking me got to yell ‘unangenehm!!!’

The fact most people just ignore Yiddish is both the most accepted modern Dutch accent spoken today directly from Yiddish speakers and the entire language - with exceptions of the Hebrew and Aramaic words - being pretty much Dutch too...

Goedemorgen (“Morrow” and ”morgen” in Germanic and proto-Germanic means the period between midnight and noon, so when used before noon it is present tense and when used after noon it means the coming midnight to noon, so the next day; Yiddish being a Germanic language as well I doubt it truly originally had another entire meaning to the word than all of Europe did) Goed jaar; Een goedenacht; Zij gezond; Heten; Ik; Jij; Hij; Zij; Het; Wij; U; Zij Ik heet; Jij heet; Hij heet; Wij heet; U heet; Zij heten; Hoe heet jij? Hoe heet u? Aangenaam; Zeer aangenaam. Zij gezond allen;

Love the interactive 'community' learning style... If there is interest in the development of worksheets, I'd be happy to help with that project. It would probably improve my learning curve to participate in creating them.

Great! Thanks!

Almost like German. But when Aaron Lebedeff sings, half of the stuff flies right by me. Like Kabtsn Hilye. Love the song tho. And Romeynie, Romeynie. Or Moyshe Oysher singing In Meyn Shtetl. 🤔😀👍👍

Funny 😄

Before I re-invent the wheel, may I ask, are there any written materials to go with these lessons? They are so good, but it’s hard to keep stopping to take notes.

Personally I would rewatch the episodes multiple times just practicing Lauren if and speaking and then you will have a MP3 player in your head when your writing it down

Mango does kinda of suck but having finished the course it's still worth doing as there are so few apps like it out there.

Holy heck man, you're kiling me. Its such good info youre putting out, stuff that i really want to learn, but the presentation is so ultracringe, I cant even get through it.

to be lost(physically or intellectually lost, confused, mixed up) One of my favorite Yiddish words for sure, because its so expressive in one word, and you never forget the sound of once you learn and use it!

I used the name sholomo before as an Alias

SHOLEM (SHALOM) and SHLOIME (SHLOMO/SOLOMON/ZALMEN) are two defferent names.

They might be two different names, but the Tanakh explicitly states that Solomon is called like this because "he will bring peace among the nations". So, the names have the same root. The sound variation between Hebrew's shalom and Yiddish's shulem is very typical, and applies to almost all other Hebrew words used in Yiddish.

My real name is five alive Freddy

I don't understand why a sports team would force their players to display political messages (of any kind) on their jerseys. That makes zero sense

this is a post about a minority language, sir.

Now I'm a bit confused. VI = like (as in similar to), and it also = how???
