Free classes on rare languages with oxford

Kiuń jachšy! (Hello!) Oxford is hosting completely free online classes on various languages through the Oxford School of Rare Jewish Languages. This is a great program! The classes begin in October and only require access to Zoom. They are completely free. All of them except Ladino for Spanish speakers are hosted in English, though some benefit from or require a proficiency in another language. Applications close at noon UK time on September 12. Preference is given for current university students (at any university in the world) but anyone can sign up. You do not have to be Jewish to attend either. Some of these languages are critically endangered languages. Personally, I'm biased and think everyone should take the Ladino and Karaim classes, but the full list is below! Languages offered: Haketia (Western Judeo-Spanish), Baghdadi Judeo-Arabic, Classical Judeo-Arabic, Judeo-French, Judeo-Greek, Judeo-Hamadani (from Iran), Judeo-Italian, Judeo-Moroccan, Judeo-Neo-Aramaic, Judeo-Persian, Judeo-Provençal (from France), Judeo-Tat, Judeo-Turkish, Karaim (Turkic language spoken by Karaites), Kivruli (Judeo-Georgian), Ladino (Judeo-Spanish/Judezmo), Old Yiddish, Yiddish If you have any questions about the classes or any of the languages, I will do my best to answer. submitted by /u/Odd_Blueberry_2524 [link] [comments]
