Wow, I'm proud of you. You're really determined. If you want to use dictionaries, bear in mind that the transcription of Yiddish into Latin characters aims to be phonetic, so a source from a German background will spell the same word differently than a source from an English background, e.g. z = ts, s = z etc. so try a variety of spellings.

is there an english versoin of your blog or translator. So i take it according to miriam, that your post was about a world with pants on the table alone and a person asking.

There are online dictionaries; the problem is though, as I mentioned before, that the transciptions don't abide by regular spelling patterns, so one has to play around a bit. I should put a few links up later.
