5.0 out of 5 stars Fred Kogos does Yiddish justice., 28 Jul 1999

By A Customer

The setup of the book makes it easy to use. The words and phrases are accurate; my native Yiddish speaking mother liked it. We were able to start talking and having fun right away. I was raised around Yiddish, but it hadn't occurred to my parents to teach it to their children. Love this book.

1.0 out of 5 stars A work unfinished, 7 Dec 1998

By A Customer

This book appears to be a first draft. No pronuciation help. Does not show how use the words. It would be worth buying if the author finishes it.
