Hot hanoe!

Dear Mendele-readers,

Rodolfo (Velvl) Niborski from Paris has just released a new application 
for iPhone, iPod touch and iPad:
Yiddish for kids 2 - Verter.

It's a "kheynevdike" application that presents more than 350 yiddish words 
with - their written form,
- a colored illustration,
- a voice pronouncing clearly each word.
The words can be browsed alphabetically or thematically.
For each word, the grammatical gender is given.

And a quiz-game helps memorize  in a playful manner the new words.

You can buy this application for 4 euros (about 5 USD) at the following 
address:
itms://itunes.apple.com/us/app/yiddish-for-kids-2-verter/id400314524?mt=8

Enjoy!
