Course 15 credits • YIDD10
Learn Yiddish and take part of a rich cultural heritage!
Yiddish is one of Sweden's national minority languages, and Lund University is the only university in Scandinavia that offers teaching and conducts research in Yiddish. Knowledge of Yiddish is valuable for those who want to learn more about Yiddish culture, work with language understanding and/or conduct research in the plethora of writings and primary materials that remains unedited or untranslated.
The course is the first of our two courses at beginner level and is based on a study of simple dialogues and texts in Yiddish with elementary vocabulary and basic grammatical structures. Particular emphasis is placed on communicative skills. You get to start learning to speak and write the language, practice listening comprehension and do translation exercises between Yiddish and Swedish/English.
