Most people I know hate it.
Even my mother almost refuses to speak it and it was her first language. (She’ll speak it if spoken to in Yiddish, but nobody speaks it anymore that she knows)
The yiddish spoken today doesnt even sound good. I have an ear for accents , I even caught a woman I was carpooling with speaking chinese with an american accent and she couldnt believe I heard it.
I remember my grandmother speaking it and the yiddish I hear today and it sounds nothing like when she spoke it.
