JOIN OUR VIRTUAL TALK
Thursday, April 22 @ 2 p.m. ET

After more than five years in the making, Duolingo added Yiddish to its roster earlier this month. How did the creators decide which dialect to use? What pronunciation does the course teach? Hear the answers to these questions and more from the team of Yiddishists who made it possible.

Forverts editor Rukhl Schaechter will speak to Myra Awodey, Duolingo’s Lead Community Specialist; Meena Viswanath, civil engineer and creator of the Forverts crossword puzzles, and Levi Polasak and Libby Pollak, former Hasidim who helped contribute to the project.
