The second section is more advanced, covering conversational phrases that will not only increase your vocabulary but which will provide a template that you can use to construct your own sentences. Topics covered in this second section range from 'a visit to the doctor' and various sections on shopping to terms related to quantity, regularity, feelings, real estate, and much more. 

The English-Yiddish Handbook is not a textbook. Rather, it is designed more to be used as a supplementary learning aid along the lines of a ever popular Berlitz type phrase books. Due to its small size, 6" x 4" you can easily slip the book into your pocket or purse, and then pull it out whenever you have a spare minute or two to learn a new word or phrase. The actual vocabulary is organized thematically, so if you are looking to learn your numbers or terms related to nature or a job interview, you will find them all together in one chapter. Scattered throughout the book you'll also find tips and rules for using Yiddish properly. 

The way the book is designed is that you have a list of Yiddish words or phrases down the right-hand side of each page, with the English translation on the left-hand side of the page, as you would find in a typical phrase book.
