I&#x27;ve taken a similar approach into learning to read Hebrew, and hopefully one day speak it. I&#x27;m basically going back to the pictographic Hebrew, before the paleo and learning it from there, each letters an image of something, so it registers quicker, then I learn the modern alongside it. My only issue is I&#x27;ll eventually have to learn the vowel system introduced by the Masoretes, but at least this is a huge chunk of the battle.
