I totally forgot to mention podcasts - they also improved my learning greatly. Netflix is another great, although passive, tool.

Question: Does Yiddish have different dialects? I'm asking because Spanish varies greatly depending where you currently are, but I consider Yiddish being somehow different language.

Yes. Eastern dialects and Western dialects. Looks like Slav v. non-Slav (Romance/Germanic) split.

“The primary differences between the contemporary dialects are in the quality of stressed vowels, though there are also differences in morphology, lexicon, and grammar.

Northern dialects are more conservative in vowel quality, while southern dialects have preserved vowel quantity distinctions.”
