About this Event
Sign up to this one-off free online taster session to learn Yiddish. It will be an introductory session to our new 8 week Yiddish courses starting later in May.
The Beginners 1 course is for anyone who would like to explore Yiddish and connect to the cultural treasures that learning the language can unlock. Whether you are interested in Yiddish as the language of struggle, folklore, literature or your own family, this is a great place to start.
The taster session will give you an idea of what to expect on the course. The course is taught by Esther (they/them עז/זים) who is based in Naarm/Melbourne, Australia.
Esther completed an MA in Applied Linguistics to learn more about second language acquisition, best-practice pedagogy and language revival and has worked for many years helping people (re-)connect to Yiddish. They know learning a language can be a challenging process and are dedicated to creating fun, creative learning communities that support students to make real progress towards their Yiddish goals. Esther also produces the educational podcast Proste Yiddish.
The Learning Cooperative is committed to developing anti-imperialist, anti-capitalist and emancipatory approaches to education. Tutors are all paid an equal wage, and languages are taught in their political, historical and social context. For more information about our various projects, check out our website.
