Bonus Advanced Episode - Chana Pollack

Proste Yiddish - Simple Yiddish

Bonus Episode // Season 3

אַ צוגאָב עפּיזאָד פֿאַר אַדװאַנצירטע ייִדיש־לערנערס - דער גאַנצער אינטערװיו מיט חנה פּאָלאַקען, אַרכיװאַר בײַם פֿאָרװערץ

This is a special episode - I had some requests for longer episodes for advanced students so this episode is the full interview that I conducted with Chana Pollack, archivist at The Forward (דער פֿאָרװערץ).

The language in this episode is a lot more complicated than our usual format, and of course it’s a lot longer. So if you’re not ready for this much Yiddish don’t worry, we’ll be back next week with a regular episode.

The article Chana wrote about LGBTQ stories in the Forward archive is here.
