I attended the YIVO summer program—a six-week intensive Yiddish immersion course at the YIVO Archive in New York, which is one of the biggest centers for Jewish history, and specifically for Yiddish study, in the world. While there, I was exposed to several different "Yiddishes," or dialects of the language that were and, in some cases, still are spoken. (English)
