Ladino 101- A Beginner's Course

Ladino 101.png

Interested in learning Ladino, the language of Sephardic Jews of the Ottoman Empire? Join the Sephardic Brotherhood and our friend Rachel Amado Bortnick, a longtime Ladino educator and advocate, for a special muti-part series for Beginner's to understand the basics of the language. Lessons will include introductions to core grammer, vocabulary, and basic conversation through stories, lesson plans, music, videos, and more!

This class was made possibly by the generous support of the Russo Family.
