SUMMARY:Learning Ladino
DESCRIPTION:Ladino is a dialect of Spanish and has many regional variations of its own. This mini-course will introduce the nuances of Ladino\, and we will conduct a comparative study of both spoken and written Spanish and Ladino\, with Latin and Hebrew characters. \nSix Part Course. 18 February – 25 March\nEach Monday\, 6:00-8:00 PM \nMonday\, 18 February: Introduction to Ladino: pronunciation\, spelling\, variations.\nMonday\, 25 February: American Ladino\nMonday\, 4 March: Turkish Ladino\nMonday\, 11 March: Greece: Salonician and Monastirli Ladino\nMonday\, 18 March: Comparative Liturgy: Psalms\, Piyyutim\, and Agada\nMonday\, 25 March: Student reflections \nDr. Joe Halio was raised in a Sephardic family of immigrants from Salonica and Turkey. His grandfather\, Albert Torres\, publisher of La Vara\, and his father\, Hank Halio\, author of Ladino Reveries\, taught him to speak Ladino. Years spent at the Sephardic Home for the Aged\, the Kastoriali Kehila in Brooklyn\, and the Sephardic Jewish Center of Forest Hills\, as well as his travels to Turkey\, Greece\, and Israel\, gave him additional perspective on the Ladino language. His extensive contact with native speakers and scholars of Ladino and Sephardic culture\, as well as his large library of Ladino literature of all kinds\, has provided him with rich opportunities to study and teach the native language and history of the Sephardim. \nKnowledge of modern spoken Spanish is preferable. Texts will include material written in the USA\, the Balkans\, and Turkey\, as well as audio and visual references. Because spoken language cannot be separated from culture in which it exists\, knowledge of Sephardic history and culture is recommended\, but not essential. Six weekly 2 hour sessions will cover an introduction to Ladino pronunciation\, reading and writing Ladino\, and regional variations. Cultural material may include historical documents\, liturgy\, folklore\, and popular sources. \nObjective \nTo clarify the differences between modern Spanish and Ladino dialects\, to facilitate research and use of the Ladino dialect\, and to promote enjoyment of Ladino and Sephardic culture and history. \nScope \nWe will speak\, read\, and write Ladino in various contexts\, both popular and scholarly. \nTexts \nHandouts\, websites\, references to available library and archival material. \nRequirements \nBasic understanding of spoken Spanish and Sephardic history and culture preferred. \nApproach to learning \nClass participation\, individual research\, and presentations as desired. \nDecorum \nNo cellphones\, computers\, recording\, etc.\, unless used in presentations\, with permission of the instructor. \nClasses will take place @The ASFs Sephardi Scholars Center
