Exercise 1a – Free Lesson #1

Yiddish Greeting Exercise

We feel it's definitely good to get off your computer and write some things down, or at least to sound things out loud if you have to stay on. (Better yet, get extra credit and do both!). So every lesson of the course includes written exercises, and of course they are now a part of your free Yiddish Greetings lesson. (Fully interactive quizzes are on their way, and we've already added one to unit one. But we feel that exercises are still the best ways to put your knowledge into action and help to retain it.)
