[@deweylauridsen1774]

Hello! Vow hert zikh! My name is Dewey. My family fled Germany and Sweden and moved here to America in the 30s, I have been learning from you on this great channel. I have my notebook and I do one or 2 phrases a day, and I sure am enjoying learning! I sure appreciate you and I plan on watching everything you have to watch and learn. My family is about all gone here in America, 6 left, and I wanted to go see the family in Europe, and this is a great first step. I am THRILLED to have you as my teacher. My momele would be proud. (My grandmother Mann). Thanks for taking the time to make these videos. 🌎🌈👌👏✌️🌹💐🌷🌻🌺🌸🌼🍒😎🤗. Sincerely your American pupil...........Professor Dewey L. 🕍

Thank you so much.It is really similar to Hebrew . It reminds me in childhood my dad's Yiddish expressions. Knowledgeable and not hard to remember.

My mother always pronounced it bray-gez.

[@rukhls]

She was what we call a Litvak, one who came from the Lithuanian region. There "oy" is pronounced as "ey"

In London and Manchester it is bray-gez: It means you're a Litvak, towering head and shoulders above everone else in intelligence!!!!:)

Where can I get a book for beginners?

[@allisonpharr7230]

Is there a yiddish word for upset or worked up like "f'mish"? I feel like my grandmother said that. Like "I'm all fmished". But I haven't been able to find reference to it when I've googled it

[@josephdavidlandau]

Hi Allison, פֿאַרמישט or צומישט farmisht or tzumisht means like confused or literally mixed up. Maybe that's what you're looking for

[@allisonpharr7230]

@@josephdavidlandau I think so. Thank you

[@Sisyphus27]

@@josephdavidlandau My German-Jewish mother (from Leipzig) used to say of me: Sie es ganz farmisht" (sorry if the spelling is wrong). That usually followed her saying "Liebe Gott im Himmel" (Dear God in heaven). Funny what you remember from your childhood.

Ayin in Yiddish is a segol. What made you use it for a patah?

[@anaesterin3588]

My grandparents used to say "Vus", not "Vos". What does it mean in terms of their geographic origins?
