Just Say Nu: Yiddish for Every Occasion (When English Just Won't Do)
A very fun book. I learned a lot of new words, learned a lot about how phrases and emotions and attitude in Yiddish comes to be, and then how better to use it in the little bit that I know or remember. It wasn't easy to read straight through, although I'm glad I forced myself to do it mostly at once, but very fun to read in pieces.
