Reply To: Good ways to go about learning Yiddish

The Yiddish I heard growing up could be called ‘kitchen table’ Yiddish. My parents spoke Yiddish to each other late at night when they did not want us to understand them. For basic conversational yiddish, it may be more fun to look up the old yiddish films with english subtitles, many online and free. There are yiddish classes for beginners in some of the large cities. Bu I agree with the other posters, learning Hebrew should be a priority.
