Pennsylvania German classes, taught by Butch Reigart, typically run for ten weeks each spring and fall. Classes are held at the Society (2215 Millstream Road, Lancaster, PA) from 7-9 p.m.

Cost is $100 for Society members, $115 for nonmembers. All are welcome.

A native of York County, Pa., and fluent Pennsylvania Dutch speaker, Butch was employed for more than 35 years as a foreign language specialist for the U.S. government. Also fluent in German and Russian, Butch has a good understanding of the language learning process.

Butch is respected by Old Order Amish and Mennonites, and is in frequent conversation with these Lancaster native speakers. He draws on this expertise in his classes.
