>Hi all,
Could anybody recommend me a textbook, from which I could learn yiddish? I
would like yiddish to be in written in hebrew alphabet and the book ti be
not for very beginners (I know German and Russian and I've got something
from klezmer CDs).
Thank you

"College Yiddish" by Uriel Weinreich is a standard. Many people think it's
too stodgy (written just after the war) but it has a lot of European flavor
to it since the oylem (audience) it was being written for still had much
recent contact with Europe (via parents, European relatives, etc.)
