Hebrew or Yiddish? If she wasn't Israeli, it was probably Yiddish. Yiddish is also better for yelling people in. My grandmother was very good at it. It's like if German had a bastard child with Polish.

Oh maybe that’s what it was. On a related note the girl I dated has a sister that was a substitute teacher at our high school at the time. She was 21 and would buy us booze and she also played strip poker with my friends and me. Took my buddy’s virginity. Fun times!

where does ladino fit into this?

[-] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 2 points 9 months ago

Not very much. There are very few Ladino speakers alive today. Like exponentially fewer than Yiddish, which already doesn't have very many speakers left.

Ladino is very close to Medieval Spanish, but written using Hebrew letters.
