Subject: Introduction


My name is Harry G. Osoff. I grew up listening from my
grandparents yiddish. I had many years of formal hebrew
training but no yiddish.

I saw this list and wanted to join in the hopes of keeping
this loving language alive. I can still read hebrew but do
not understand it.

I have enjoyed the few paragraphs I have seen come across
this list in the short time I have been signed on.

I speak the words and delightfully hear my grandparents in
my head. Are ther any suggestions on how I may proceed in
remembering and learning Yiddish.

I am currently Editor of a Science & Technology Newsletter.

The phoenetic spelling of yiddish to english is almost as
difficult as learning the Yiddish.
