There will be many #Yiddish courses in Europe this summer, more than ever (as far as I know).

Choose one that's close to you: London (a new one), Barcelona (a new one), Brussels, Warsaw, Stockholm, Vilnius, Weimar (the language course + new programmes Yiddish Hoyz and Yiddish Buffet) and Vienna too (see yungyidishvienna.org/summerschool2026).

See here for most of the links/descriptions:

Very frequently asked question: Are the courses only for Jews?
Very easy answer: No.

“[Shane] Strachan sees Scots’s revitalization being driven in part by young people’s desire for, as he puts it, ‘what’s left that makes you different’ in an era of social media homogenization. A new generation of Scots speakers wants to talk about what’s happening in the world, in their own words.”
