A 5-lesson advanced online course in Ladino (Judeo-Spanish) for learners with prior knowledge of the language seeking to deepen their reading, speaking, and grammatical awareness. Each session uses authentic Sephardi and contemporary Ladino texts — including folklore, poetry, fables, and song — to build vocabulary and develop fluency. Grammar topics include verb tenses, moods, pronoun systems, and the contrast between indicative and subjunctive.

Taught by Esther Rute, who holds a BA in Semitic Philology and two MAs in Jewish History and Spanish Studies from the Hebrew University of Jerusalem. She is a certified language teacher, External Advisor to the National Authority for Ladino (ANL), and Deputy Editor of Aki Yerushalayim.
