(do not take this personally, I am like Moshe Rabbeinu playing the ask game on ultra hard mode)

I'm not sure about how embarrassed I should be in my bad Yiddish, but I fully agree with you there. I know only a couple of words here and there, so it's really poor, understandably.

To be fair, none of my parents speak Yiddish. My paternal grandparents don't either - they speak French. My maternal grandmother does know some Yiddish, but I don't know how much of it is from her parents who likely spoke two completely different dialects since one was Hungarian and the other was Polish.

I do know that certain Hassidic accents turn Shuruk to i. Frum is a Yiddish word of German sources, so it'd make sense for it to be pronounced differently in those Hassidic Yiddish dialects.

my Jewish joy is last week I had brunch with this lady from shul! It was only supposed to be an hour but we spent 3 hours talking and we even read a Yiddish book together~

She was delighted to learn that I was learning Yiddish, and I learned she was both a student and a teacher at the old Yiddish school which was very exciting (I did a research project on it before so I was double excited)
