Rabbi Aryeh Silber is the author of Hachi Garsinan (Israel Bookshop), a guide to Aramaic words in the Talmud
Where did you get the idea? I was a rebbi for 11- and 12-year-old boys in a chassidish yeshivah, third year of learning Gemara, and then I started tutoring. I realized a lot of boys have problems figuring out the words of Gemara — this is usually the third language they’re exposed to, after Yiddish or English and Hebrew — and they get confused between “mani” and “nami,” and “hacha” and “heicha” and so on and so forth. I decided to make a list of the basic few hundred words with the teitsh on the side, and I’d give it out to all the yeshivos. That list is now a hardcover book in its fourth printing.
