Yiddish: A Linguistic Introduction Book

This book has lots of tips and ideal concepts on how to be a mentsh and not a smuck. The book uses phrases from the Talmud and the author translates them to humerus terms. The book shows how people have acted like shumcks and the author describes how people can change. In the final chapter the author describes how you can use what you've learned and transform the knowledge into a real life transformation if your already a shmuck.

I made a text-to-self connection in the book on how some people act rudely to other people and how they can stop. I sometimes acted rudely to other people. I read how people could change the way they thought about others and the world.

I give this book 5 stars because 1. of it's non related jewish humor. Also I thought that the way the author wrote the book could help turn a persons life around by taking small steps at a time. I also thought that the book could have had more jokes along the way and a little more dailouge. But other than that the book was really good.
