Something I love about Yiddish is being able to pick out some word or phrase that's intelligible to me, which is cool considering I haven't touched german in over three years
#yiddish#funnily enough i am studying hebrew first and foremost but i've been listening to a lot of music in yiddish#i do still want to learn yiddish though because i'm under the impression that many american jews speak yiddish#apparently yiddish is a vulnerable language on the endangerment scale??? :/#also considering english is a germanic language it does make understanding yiddish a bit easier in some ways#but my brain kind of translates it from yiddish > german bits i understand/pick up on > english#maybe i should pick german back up because parts of my family are from germany (i'm like third or fourth gen?? i think???)#i said german because again my brain is weird about how it understands and self-translates languages i understand to any capacity
