Kids using language like everything is peerim and other yeshivishe language. I believe it is a problem as kids can’t speak properly without sticking in words like me’hechi teisi and nafka mina etc.

The question is whether they are receiving an adequate education and practice of the English language. If so, then at least they have a language that speaks to them. It may be tinged with Yiddish and Yeshivishe, but language is a framework for life.
There are some things that cannot be translated into English that only they in their time can communicate by merging the languages.
For the sake of Yiddishkeit, perhaps the language barrier between their casual conversation and that of others actually keeps their ties with Judaism strong. They cannot rid their Yiddishkeit from their tongue.
What’s the difference between criticizing them for not speaking 100% English and previous generations doing all they can to assimilate? Aren’t you making the same argument that the Reform movement made to enforce English?

November 1, 2016 5:31 pm at 5:31 pm #1188491zahavasdadParticipantLanguage is different today than 150-200 years ago. There is more globalization and more communicating with all people
Like it or not English is the worlds language, It is the language spoken by More jews than any other language

November 1, 2016 11:10 pm at 11:10 pm #1188493Geordie613Participantlilmod ulelamaid,
The name of the person you are addressing is not ‘Joe’s friend’ – look carefully. Either he doesn’t speak (or spell) proper English “bec their (sic) yeshiva bachurim”, or his name is Joe S Freind.
