Oy vey. (Just a general expression of dissatisfaction.)
Chutzpah (gall--the "ch" sounds like you're going to spit at the guy)

The YM-YWHA in Montreal offers Yiddish lessons, I think. If you're near a Jewish community centre, that would be your best bet.

Try to find tutorial books in stores or on line.
Or go to a synagogue and ask if there are old people who speak it and if they're willing to teach you.
Its a dying language. Not a lot of people speak it. Mostly old people. Its going to be like Latin soon.
