You will find lots of polyglots on Duolingo, meyn fraynd, gut glik (my friend - good luck - with a little help from google translate). Try the forums on Duolingo and Memrise.
Yiddish books are in the Yiddish Book Centre in Massachusetts, USA.
Yiddish speakers include the Hassisdic groups and Yeshivas, and families who are in Canada, Israel, the USA and the UK.
You can take Yiddish courses in summer in Krakow (or Krakov), Poland.
Yiddish festivals and theatre can also be found.
Fewer than 100 Yiddish speakers are in the Jewish Russian oblav (region with city) set aside for Jews.
In Australia after visiting the Jewish Museum I was inspired to go to a nearby bookshop and record shop where i could hear and buy Yiddish songs from the USA.
For entertainment, you might enjoy:
The video of the song Romania by a cantor called Moshe Shulhof who mimes playing a violin - played by another alongside - highly amusing - on YouTube

The book about saving Yiddish books which my book group in London read.
