Dear Colleagues, I would like to bring to your attention a new Yiddish textbook, Shlisl zu Yiddish = Key to Yiddish by Miriam Hoffman, M.A., Published by the National Center for Jewish Cultural Arts, Inc. (NCJCA) Hoffman is a lecturer in Yiddish Language and Culture at Columbia University in New York. Shlisl zu Yiddish is the culmination of her long career as a successful, innovative, and beloved Yiddish teacher. While being a textbook on the University level, it is also very suitable for self-learners and adult education classes, since it treats Yiddish as a living language, rooted in East European Jewish culture and tradition. In addition to grammar and literary texts, the book includes Yiddish poetry and folk songs, humor and wit, and it is lavishly illustrated. This comprehensive 660-page volume, guides both students and instructors in making the necessary transition from basic vocabulary and grammar, to mastering the language and appreciation of its literary pleasures. A graduate of Columbia University and the renowned Yiddish Teachers Seminary, Miriam Hoffman <http://www.columbia.edu/cu/german/faculty/hoffman_m.html> is also an accomplished playwright and a journalist and feature writer for the Yiddish Forward. Shlisl zu Yiddish costs 49.99 (plus shipping and handling)
