Spring 2024: Twice-a-Week Yiddish

YIVO’s twice-a-week Yiddish classes are held live on Zoom for 12 weeks (24 total sessions, 1.5 hours each) and focus on listening, speaking, reading, and writing in Yiddish.

The twice-a-week Yiddish classes are excellent for students serious about beginning or continuing their study of Yiddish. By meeting twice per week, these courses aim to cover two semesters’ worth of material. A total beginner, for example, would enroll in Intensive Beginner I&II Yiddish and complete the equivalent of one semester of once-per-week classes of Beginner I Yiddish and one semester of once-per-week classes of Beginner II Yiddish.

Prerequisites or expected level of familiarity with Yiddish is specified for each course. Enrollment is capped at about 15 students per class. All course details (Zoom link, syllabus, handouts, etc.) will be posted to Canvas.

This spring, YIVO is offering seven levels of twice-a-week Yiddish.
