This course is for third-year Yiddish students. We will assume some ability on the students' part to speak and to ask others in Yiddish about themselves and objects in the world (the classroom, work, home and family) and to read and write simple Yiddish texts. Over two years, the class has covered the Yiddish alphabet, present, past tense, and future tenses as well as "modal" verbs (could/would/should), and nominative, accusative, and dative "cases" (subject, direct object and indirect object). Students without these skills but with a background in German, Hebrew or other relevant languages may enroll with permission of the instructor.

Prerequisite: 2 years of Lehrhaus Introductory Yiddish or equivalent
