Moishe has gathered all his experiences learning different languages, particularly learning Yiddish, and boiled it down into a course that gives you the ability to progress quickly, and start speaking Yiddish right away.

We Understand... Because We've Been There Too

But first... allow me to introduce myself.

 

My name is Shmelke (or at least that's what they call me in Yiddish).

.

I grew up in Detroit, Michigan in a Jewish home - but I hardly knew a word of Yiddish for most of my life.

.

In my early 20s I felt an increasing desire to learn this rich Jewish language. I read many textbooks and teach-yourself guides.

.

I pounced on every old Jewish man, hoping to practice my Yiddish conversation with them. Of course, when they replied I would often get confused and flustered.

.

As much as I tried, I felt stuck in my Yiddish learning.

.

But I didn't give up.

.

And 7 years ago I met Moishe! He taught me using two important principles:

.

1.  Bite sized. Focus on a small amount of the most important material.

.

2.  Keep it fun!

It may not take a goyn (super genius) to figure this out. But people are so excited to start that they just take on too much, they bite of more than they can chew. Short, focused lessons are what will get you speaking Yiddish.
Learning Yiddish is about taking it step by step - and starting with the Yiddish words and grammar that will give you the most mileage.
If you learn a few irrelevant words and phrases, like "where's the hotel swimming pool," how that going to help you?
In the Yiddish Academy beginners' course we keep it simple and easy, but building you quickly to where you want to go.

However, as you know, it has to accessible to you, and something you'll stick with.

 

We offer you something unique. It's a course designed by someone with a passion for learning languages and making them accessible to others. Moshe learned himself in the trenches, and he takes what he's learned to you.

 

Moshe has something not everyone does. He has real life experience learning languages, including Hebrew and Spanish. So he knows what is important when first learning a language, and particularly when first learning Yiddish.

 

More than that: Moshe has worked with lots of people helping the learn Yiddish. He knows about the problems that keep people from being successful. Things like...

 

  1. Confusion over where to begin
  2. Difficulty keeping it up
  3. Not knowing how to have a conversation
  4. Losing motivation

 

These problems were all addressed when creating the course.

"I am pleased with the course. It reflects the untold hours of time you devoted to create a valid format. The audios help develop an ear for the language I did not hear growing up. I’M DEFINITELY LEARNING NEW THINGS, having been raised in a non-Yiddish speaking home. The course is a welcomed challenge to my 86 yr. old brain."
Richard Block

So far I'm only on Lesson 1e so I'm very happy and pleased. I spend 1/2 hour each day (except Shabbos) working with the lessons on the site. My congregation is planning a Yiddish weekend next summer and I hope to know a bisl by then. A danke. Oh I just thought of ein zakh. Is "good week" a gute vokh?

  • I think it's too expensive

    Well, that's because you're cheap. Ok, well you're thrifty then. Seriously, this doesn't cost more than a Yiddish book, and this you'll actually learn from this... it'll push you forward and get you moving to just start learning Yiddish! And you want to learn Yiddish, right? 

    Just do it.

  • I don't have time to take a course right now

    That's your excuse? Anything worth anything takes some time. Fun things take time, it's just that when their fun, you don't notice the time go by. That's based on a Yiddish proverb from Albert Einstein, who happened to come up with the theory of Relativity, that says whenever you have boring relations over, then it seems like forever. And Einstein was smart, and he knew Yiddish. You want to be smart, right?
     
     
  • Can I access this course on any device?

    Well, you have to plug it in. And you need an internet connection. So, yes, pretty much: tablet, pc and cell phone.

  • I don't need any more "theory"!

    Right. You already have the theory of Relativity. I think that's enough. Also, the focus of the course is vocabulary that will give you a basis to read and converse, and basic grammar rules. We want to get you started. You can theororise later.

  • What if I don't like Yiddish?

    Right. I don't know what to say. You read all the way to here? 

    People are so weird.

  • Is this a one-off or monthly payment?

    It's a single, one-off payment of $29.90. There's nothing else to pay after this.
