Yiddish (also known as the Jewish language), refers to the language spoken by Ashkenazi Jews — Jews from Central and Eastern Europe, and their descendants. Yiddish basic vocabulary and grammar have their origins in medieval West German. Also, it integrates many other languages, like German, Hebrew, Aramaic and various Slavic and Romance languages.

Yiddish can be considered to be a dialect of German. I say this because a German speaker can understand 85% of Yiddish without much difficulty.

It is evident that Yiddish and German are closely related languages. So, trying to learn both the languages at the same time may create confusion for you. As you progress, you may find it difficult to differentiate between the two languages.

Although grasping ability differs from one person to another and you might be good at switching your mind between two skills, but it is always better to stick at one thing. You should first choose German, gain proficiency in it, and then move to Yiddish. It is because the German language has a vast set of rules and vocabulary. So, learning this language would create a strong base for learning Yiddish. Also, you would be able to relate more with the typical words, often used by the native speakers.

How does one charge students? Advance payment or payment after lessons? Worry is what if they don't pay up.
You can ask for partial payments within a set period of time if your students are unable to pay full amount in one go.
