If one wishes to learn Yiddish as is spoken today, there are some text books that are less than useful since they reflect Yiddish as it was spoken and written before World War II (among post-war changes are the disappearance of secular users, and the increased influences of Hebrew and English along with the reduced influence of German on Yiddish vocabulary and grammar). I suggest combining a textbook, along with children’s books aimed at the frum community (meaning one’s that actual Yiddish speakers buy for their kids).
