This new Judeo-Spanish (Ladino) course is based on Sephardic tales. Students will have the opportunity to read them in the Latin alphabet. We will also practice speaking skills, and those who want will receive short writing tasks. Elements of the Hebrew Rashi script will be included as well. This course is appropriate for people with basic knowledge of Ladino or Spanish. If needed, the dates of the course can be adjusted to match students’ availability.
