Mendele Personal Notices & Announcements

Feb. 16, 2010

To minimize wear and tear on the untershames, three requests:

1. Send time-sensitive notices well in advance.
2. Send material as plain text:  no HTML, other coding, or attachments;and 
write MENDELE PERSONALS in the subject line.
3. Correspond directly with the person who or organization which has 
posted the notice, *not* with your ever-beleaguered untershames.

Subject: Addendum to posting on recording of hassidic Yiddish

Here's the rest of the informaion on how to access the recordings of 
Hassidic New York Yiddish on talkbank.org
Here's what you do:
1) click on CABANK
2) Under DATABASE click on "playback without downloading".
3) in the next window, on the left hand side, you'll see a batch of 
languages listed alphabetically.  Yiddish is at the bottom of the list.
As of now there are two recofdings: one af a young man under 30, one of a 
young man slightly above 30.

I'll be happy to have folks listen and suggest corrections of the 
transcriptions. Transcriptions are extraordinarily difficult and 
time-consuming. Every time I listen, I change something. Suggestions for 
change are welcome.
