The language of the Tenakh, Mishnah, and many other scrolls of historical note. Of great use for Christians, academics, and Jews alike. Can't stand the Bible? Read the first two thirds of it in the original language and realize that your awful translations are awful. Discussion of Hebrew and its texts is more than welcome. Extra resources especially so.
Good news! Classical Hebrew has ~4000 words in its vocabulary compared to English's ~800,000 and counting. You can learn more than enough to be fluent and read old texts fairly quickly and just look up the words when you have trouble because it's a dead language and no one really "speaks" it anymore.
Biblical versus Modern
This Israeli puts it best: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xFNZ4aojgv8
That youtube channel as a whole is an okay resource for learning Modern Hebrew, but that's not what we're here for.
The Alefbet
""The Basics:"" The Alefbet is the Hebrew Alphabet, and it's a right to left language. Whereas the alphabet is named after the first two letters of the Greek alphabet, Alpha and Beta, the Hebrew alefbet is named after its two first letters, Alef and Bet.
""Weird quirk #1:"" The Alefbet has no vowels.
>How the fuck do I pronounce it then?
There are two ways. One is to memorize how you pronounce which words or to use the Niqqud (Nee-kood). Hebrew: נִקּוּד
>Gesundheit
Niqqud is basically little marks around the consonant that tells you what vowel sound follows it. Yes, like Tolkien's Elvish. Most people learn the language with the Niqqud and naturally remember how the words without the Niqqud are pronounced after a certain amount of time, and it's just a matter of learning how syllables are pronounced like one would do with Spanish or other languages which are read how they're spelled.
""Weird quirk #2:"" Sometimes the same letter looks different when it appears at the end of the word. Most languages didn't have punctuation 4,000 years ago, so they used to use it to tell when words stopped. That's just a vestige from older times and it's not at all hard to find transcriptions of scrolls and whatnot have spaces and punctuation inserted for reader's convenience.
So far, so good. Much better than English's innumerable rules, subrules, and even more exceptions that tell those rules to go fuck themselves, right? Piece of cake.
""Learning the Alefbet""
Here's some videos for you. I find the Hebrew alphabet song helps. The following all use the Ashkenazi pronunciation which is the most commonly used. There's another pronunciation used by the Sephardi Jews, but there's no difference in word usage and spelling, only pronunciation.
""Alefbet Song from Shalom Sesame:" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YzjHjXe-2XU
Catchy little song and you can see the letters' shape as they're said. It's a minute long. Pause the video as you need to on your next read-through.

Alternatively, there's this made by some Israelis, but it it doesn't have the lesson on the last four letters yet, lazy shits. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JBVpQzvrJ4w&list=PLCCECB0803BCF7CD4
The above playlist has the added benefit of an introduction to the different ways the letters are sometimes written and writing conventions that have developed over the past fuckthousand years this language has been floating around.
