This book has a great deal of variety in its content compared to other language self-study books. The author's special talents include incorporating humor and engaging the reader actively.
This is a very well designed and thorough introduction to Yiddish.
This is an excellent text. The vocabulary introduced in the very first lesson is relevant and usable, which is unfortunately high praise for a language text. I don't know why, but language text writers think you need to know how to say things like "Is it customary to tip the wine steward?" or "May I accompany you on the harpsichord?" and it is not until the very last chapter that you learn the verb "to be."
BONUS: Yiddish dialect cassette (ogg).
