Intermediate-Advanced with Lena Watson: Yiddish Handwriting: Thursday, 2:00 – 3:30 PM ET: July 3, 10, 17, 24, 30

from $150.00

Thursday, 2:00 – 3:30 PM ET:  July 3, 10, 17, 24, 30

Are you curious to know what those Yiddish postcards or letters handed down in your family say, and do you wish you could read the handwriting?  Or perhaps you’d like to become a translator of handwritten materials, but you don’t know where to start? In this course, we’ll do just that! In my almost 20-year career as a translator of handwritten Yiddish, I’ve seen more handwritings than I’ve had hot dinners! Each week, we’ll look at an original handwritten Yiddish text, such as a diary entry, a memoir excerpt, a letter, etc.; familiarize ourselves with the handwriting; and dive right in. By the end of the course, you will have become more comfortable with various spellings, personal styles, and dialectal differences.
