Anyone speak Pennsylvania Dutch?
I'm desperate to learn. Desperate. It's my family heritage, all my bloodlines are Amish and my dad and most of my extended family speaks it, but my dad would never teach me. If anyone knows of some resources (I doubt they're there...looked everywhere myself), please let me know!

1. My grandparents spoke it - it seemed nearly identical to german to me.
