Adi Mahalel JWST281 Expecting an A Anonymous 05/15/2024	Mahalel is a pretty good teacher when it comes to yiddish, though this class was definitely intimidating at first. From day one, he spoke entirely in yiddish and rarely spoke in english, only using english to provide clarification when absolutely needed. The immersive atmosphere of the class definitely helped with learning the language though, and I felt far more confident in speaking and understanding it after only 4 months. He’s also really funny and is a nice guy, and understood we’re all students who also have a lot going on in our schedules. Homework was typically very light and mostly consisted of a few pages of reading and fill in the blanks in the supplemental book, with a very short essay every few weeks also being required. Would highly recommend you take this class if you have any interest in learning yiddish or just interest in yiddish in general, though don’t expect it to be easy to pick up on at first.
