Term 1 only.

Learn to speak, read, write and understand Yiddish quicker than you can imagine! The module is for complete beginners.

Yiddish was the vernacular language of East-European Jews (Ashkenazim) and spoken by the majority of Jews prior to the Second World War. It is a Germanic language with significant Hebrew and Slavic components and with a vast literature. This is a chance to engage with this rich culture and its fascinating history.

Each class incorporates grammar and new vocabulary linked to a variety of topics and readings.

Texts will include simple dialogues and extracts from Yiddish folk culture as well as short easy literary pieces. Conversation practice is a feature of each class.

UCL is the only university in London where Yiddish is taught.

Content: This module provides further work in Greek for those who have taken a Beginners' module or have a GCSE. It aims to develop students' knowledge of the Greek language from a level comparable to that achieved at the end of the Beginners' module to a point where they will have mastered most of the syntactical constructions covered in Athenaze 2 and be able to demonstrate this understanding in translation both from Greek into English and from English into Greek.
