How Hard Is It to Learn Hebrew?

Hebrew is a member of the Semitic languages originating from the Middle East. This language group has been around for a very long time and features written recordings from the 29th century BC. Today, the most known members of this group are perhaps Arabic and Hebrew. Although, by number of native speakers, both Amharic and Tigrinya (both in the same group) are more common than Hebrew. Hebrew today is a first language to 5-9 million people (depending on whom you ask) and the liturgical language for Jews worldwide.
