This was the book used in the first Yiddish class I took, a YIVO one for beginners focused just on reading. It's a classic! Sounds like a great course. There are some interesting comments on the book here: ingeveb.org/pedagogy/%D7...

The review was written by Melekh Epstein, and appeared on 8/21/39. He left the CP after the Hitler-Stalin pact, which was on 8/23/39. So this must have been one of the last things he had published in the Freiheit. He later wrote the very interesting, if badly named, book "The Jew and Communism".
