A while ago, I saw a one-page glossary of colloquial Yiddish terms that are commonly used in shiur (daily lecture in yeshiva). It looked like it had been photocopied more than a few times, so I think it is likely that it's been widely circulated.

Does anyone know where I could find that, or something similar, available online?

    @ShmuelBrin The question is terms used in learning Gemoro, not conversational Yiddish Aug 11, 2015 at 19:11

    @mevaqesh I don't think so, because there's a focus on yeshiva/shiur, which makes it a Jewish life question

    @DanF I meant Yiddish (I'll be attending a Yiddish shiur this zman, iy"H), but yeshivish would also be useful

    I'll see if I can research. If you're learning in Yiddish, you may have to change your user name to "Shoychit" ;-)

I got it in camp many years ago and someone tried to fix the words that got cut off it's not perfect and it's not so clear as you mentioned it was photocopied too many times

Yiddish shuir glossary

  • Besides some minor spelling issues (even taking dialect and spelling conventions into account), there are some words there that are incorrectly translated. eg װער means who, not where (but װוּ is correctly translated as where); אַרױס means out, not in (but אַרײַן is correctly translated as in); װיל is want, not because (but װײַל is correctly translated as because); etc.

I'm not sure if this is the exact page you're talking about, but here is something I found that was posted by another Mi Yodeya user on another Yiddish answer:
