3. From: Flori Algrante Charles, NY
Subject: Manuel de Judeo-Espagnol
I found reference to this book on the Internet and contacted the author
who referred me to the publisher in Paris. It is not available in the
U.S.
Manuel de Judeo-Espagnol
Langue et culture
de Marie-Christine Varol
ISBN 2 911053.38.9
Este libro esta utilizado actualmente por los estudiantes de judeo-espanol
del Institut National des Langues et Civilisations Orientales (Langues)
de Paris. Adjunto al libro hay tambien un CDROM.
I was in contact with the publisher, L'Asiatheque by email and they wanted
the money in francs which proved quite difficult. I also got the Dictionnaire
Francais Judeo Espagnol by Klara Perahya and Elie Perahya.
ISBN 2 911053.37.0 It is a one way dictionary only French to Judeo Espagnol.
The price for the manuel was 220 francs and the dictionary 150 francs.
with a service charge to mail of 58 francs. The total came to 428 francs.
The total came to about $62 in dollars. I sent $65 since there was going
to be a charge by the bank to change the dollars to francs. I got the
books with a letter saying the extra $3 covered the bank charges. The
books took 3 weeks to arrive..
The address is Langues et Monde
L'asiatheque 11 cite Veron, 75018
Paris
Telephone (011-33) 1 42 62 04 00
Fax (011-33) 1 42 62 12 34
e-mail: asialang@cybercable.fr
contact there Christine Thiollier
email address of author - varol@cybercable.fr
I like the fact that the book is set up in a systematic regular beginners
language study. There is some French but I would say that this is the
best way for someone who needs to learn Ladino. I can read the Ladinokomunita
but do not write or speak it yet. The CD is in Ladino and begins with
the pronunciation and has stories, poetry and songs. I got the
dictionary also just to help with the French.
Also, Hippocrene Books ,71 Madison Avenue, New York NY 10016 has put out
a Ladino-English, English-Ladino Concise Encyclopedic Dictionary by Dr.
Eli Kohen & Dahlia Kohen-Gordon publihed this year ISBN 0-7818-0658-5.
This book is available at Borders in New York so I assume other stores
can get it. Barnes and Noble also said they could get it.

Aviva,
You can make color photocopies right onto the transparencies of anything
you wish, keeping copyright laws in mind. KINKOs in our part of the world
has self-service photocopy machines that make beautiful transparencies.
Hope this helps!
Ciao,
Perla Sezgin
