Because everyone studies Yiddish in Bloomington, Indiana, right?

Blogging from Bloomington.

I am four-weeks into an intensive Yiddish reading course and can say, with a little hesitation, that I can read Yiddish! I say "hesitation" because it's slow-going, and this class has been disappointing. It was supposed to be just what I needed to pass my second foreign language exam, but now I'm not 100% sure.

Add being away from Roland and Vienna for what will be a total of 6 weeks out of the few short months a year we have together, AND the cost of airfare and now luggage (!!), and, well, I am not in the best of moods.

A heuriger and a tafelspitz will help that - less than 2 weeks!
