JACKIE MASON, How to Talk Jewish:
Jackie Mason's book "How to Talk Jewish", is the greatest and funniest teaching tool for anyone who wonders why they've wasted words speaking English, when they could have said the same with one word in Jewish.
Slim but fun:
Jackie Mason's observations on Yiddish are hilarious. You don't have to be Jewish to love this book!
Jackie Mason helps you learn to talk Jewish the Yiddish way:
I wanted to learn some common Yiddish sayings. So I bought Jackie Masons' book titled: "How to Talk Jewish". It is an enjoyable book complete with Yiddish sayings and a taste of Jewish life as only Jackie Mason can tell it.
How to Talk Jewish:
Not as good as I had hoped. He explains a lot of Yiddish phrases that are not commonly used. The commonly used expressions were not defined as well as I could have defined them myself.
