I was asked to tutor 2 children in Yiddish, 9 and 11 in order for them to be able to attend a Yiddish speaking school next year. Does anyone have any recommendations for a workbook I can use as a base? Thanks!

Where are you?

In the past I tutored a girl who needed to learn yiddish after moving to stamford hill from Israel.

I bought a grammar textbook that was quite good, taught rules, spelling etc, although I remember there were more in depth books in the particular bookstore I looked.

For which age? Do they have any background, I know there are the 'Leren Lein Bicher' that are used in schools etc.

Thanks! I actually looked a bit on chinuch.org, but was having a hard time finding things.
Smilethere that book sounds perfect! Do you remember what it was called? I live in the us, not NY but if I know what I'm looking for, I can get it shipped...
