Classes offered other semesters:

Intermediate Yiddish. This class is for students with some ability to read, write, and speak. Tuition, but no one turned away for lack of funds

Reading Yiddish Literature. This class is for students with the ability to read Yiddish literature in the original. Fluency by no means required — but a basic reading skills are.  Some instruction and discussion also takes place in Yiddish. Tuition, but no one will be turned away.

Basics Review and Onward. This class assumes some familiarity with Yiddish: the spelling system utilizing the Jewish alphabet (alef-beys), present tense verbs, some nouns in masculine, feminine, and neuter gender. Tuition, but no one will be turned away.

Introduction to Yiddish. This class is for people starting from close to absolute or absolute zero, people who may remember from phrases from childhood, or people who know nothing!
