To some degree, yes. But I think I'm a bit worse than most. I assume you got your Hebrew indoctrination started about the same age I did (seven or eight). Even then I couldn't manage it. I can pick out a few letters if I really wrack my brain, but it takes me a long time. I tried learning it again a few years ago, and it was a no-go.
Yiddish, of course, I dip into as much as does every other semi-Semite in America. For effect, anyway, or when I want to sound especially Jewy. (I've noticed that when I'm around Jews, I try to sound goyish, and when I'm around goyim, I want to sound Jewy. Strange.)
