I always dreamed about undertaking to learn Hebrew, but, as a native English speaker, I have a few concerns which it seems I can address here. In terms of
difficulty, how does Hebrew compare to a Romance language? Is it true that Hebrew writes only consonants and not vowels? And does this complicate things? And
would the Hebrew that one would learn to read the Hebrew Bible be mutually intelligible with the form that is spoken today in modern Israel?
