How Hard Is It to Learn Hebrew?

While the script might take some getting used to, it’s still a fairly simple alphabet consisting of 22 consonants. If you compare that to getting a hang of thousands of characters in Japanese, it might create some sort of perspective. While you would still have to come to grips with a whole new writing system, it is not as impossible as it might at first seem. Unlike Arabic, Hebrew does not even require you to learn different forms for the consonants.
