Da ich ja die hebräischen Buchstaben nicht lesen kann, habe ich deinen jiddischen Text in "Google Translate" gesetzt, da Google auch Jiddisch übersetzt.
Hier ist die Google - Übersetzung. Die niederländische Google - Übersetzung ist noch schlechter, daher präsentiere ich die englische Übersetzung für Leute, die das hebräische Alphabet nicht gelernt haben:

Das Problem stammt teilweise davon, dass Jiddisch benutzt spezielle diakritische Zeichen, und ich weiß nicht wie
ich sie schreiben kann mit meinem Rechner. Aber Google Translate ist für Jiddisch normalerweise nicht sehr
nützlich in meiner Erfahrung. Teilweise auf "Deutsch" übersetzt, sieht es so aus:
Mit a paar minut zurück ich hab a sach [Menge] Pelmeni aufgekocht, was is gewesen mamash ot [genau] das was
ich hab stark nötig gehat. Die Frau a meine hat geholfen auchet. Das is für uns die beide gewesen das erste mal
was mir haben macht azoyns [ein solchen] a Speis sich allein in der Heim. Was shayikh [relevant] kochen, ich hab
sehr lieb zu kochen a mamshusdik [wesentlich] verschieden Reih von minim [Arten] Speis.

Hey geoffw, good to read about your progress in Russian! How difficult would you say is HP in Russian?
It's always fun to hear or read some Yiddish. It's very easy to understand for a German except for the occasional Hebrew word. Although I guess a real conversation in Yiddish would be pretty hard to follow.
Do you by chance know this video? It's really fun to watch!

I've seen that video once upon a time, yes.
HP in Russian comes and goes in waves for me. Some portions will be nearly opaque, and other times I'll
understand basically everything. Naturally, conversations in the book are easier to follow than exposition. I am very
heavily leveraging my familiarity with the text, too. Other books I can still get a bit here and there, but HP is
significantly easier for me, and not only because of the general level of difficulty of the text.

I saw this comic just now and immediately thought of emk...
EDIT: Contains some "colorful" language, and be sure to mouse hover over the comic to see the pop-up text.

I recently met someone that I had been told was from Amsterdam, so I offered up something along the lines of "ik
heb gehoord dat jij spreekt Nederlands, niet waar?" I got a fairly unconfident response in Dutch, indicating that he
originally came from Russia (and later heard that he'd been in boarding school in England for a long time). So I
came back with a "Ну, тогда конечно ты говоришь по-русски, тоже, да?" This was, of course, met with great
surprise, as well as a reply in Russian asking how exactly I came to speak Russian, as well. (I'm sure my answer that
"I studied it" was not terribly enlightening, though.)
Not much more than Stupid Human Tricks(TM) on my part, but seemed like an amusing anecdote worth sharing.

NL: Geoffw, dat zijn zo van de heel toevallige taalrelevante ontmoetingen, zoiets is wel fascinerend. Vorige week had ik ook zoiets. Ik was bij de pedicure en die vrouw die dat werk bij mij deed, bleek een polyglot te zijn. Ze sprak Duits met mij, kvam uit Polen en spreekt bovendien Turks, Engels en Russisch. Ze is met een Turk getrouwd en haar kinderen worden drietalig opgevoedt: Duits, Turks en Pools. Dat kwam ik ook uit pure toeval te weten!
