If you'd like for your child to learn Hebrew and Judaic studies, you can enroll them in an online Hebrew School. Our site is a Hebrew School online that's perfect for Jewish homeschoolers. Check out our website to learn more about our program.
Most Jewish communities have Jewish day schools that offer Hebrew as part of their curriculum. Additionally, public schools in some countries outside of Israel off Hebrew immersion programs in communities with large enough Jewish populations.
For adults, you could check with universities, community colleges, and local synagogues/chabbads for Hebrew courses.
You could get Rosetta stone, but those are pretty expensive. My suggestion is to:
1. Get an English-Hebrew dictionary. Make sure it has how to spell AND pronounce the Hebrew word. Practice memorizing words and adding them to your everyday conversations.
2. Watch YouTube videos to learn how to pronounce them. Practice saying words correctly and speaking fluently.
3. Research further online to learn sentences and phrases. Make sure they have pronounciation guides.
4. For any questions, ask on answers.com or wikianswers.com. Somebody there is bound to know Hebrew (me for example! My first language is English, my second is spanish, and my third is Hebrew). Ask questions like "How do you pronounce the Hebrew phrase 'אני אוהב אותך'?" or "How do you spell 'I love you' using the Hebrew alphabet and language?"

It is not a problem
To speak with a Yiddish accent, you can focus on pronouncing certain sounds differently, like emphasizing the "ch" sound (more like clearing your throat), adding a bit of a "d" sound after words ending in "t" or "s," and drawing out vowel sounds. Listening to native Yiddish speakers can also help you mimic the accent more accurately.
