“We speak the real old Yiddish from back in Russia not with any English”

My Oma would laugh at you ‘peasants from the east’ and how you butchered the German language.
Yiddish didn’t start in Russia, it developed as it moved out of Germany (Ashkenaz).
I went to a Chabad Day School, and still have plenty of interaction with Chabad in a number of cities…they’re more than happy to take this misnagid’s checks. There is plenty of English in their spoken Yiddish. They didn’t have computers, cell phones, automobiles, radio back in the pale of Settlement and words for these items were added from English.
