Is Hebrew an easy language to learn

I thought that it might be fun because it is so different from English. I figured that maybe I could take it slow and learn it little by little....Thank you for your response to my discussion also. I am fairly new at all of this and I guess I need to do more discussions.

If you're thinking of learning a different language and you don't really have any particular interest on anything... what about Japanese? It's a pretty simple language when it comes to grammar patterns :)

Now you have really gotten me interested. I know just a little bit about Hebrew but am fascinated with how Hebrew letters also represent numbers. Is Arabic the same way? In learning these languages, would I also be learning all of the numbers and symbols? In English, we could spend a lifetime learning grammar and if you tend to switch letters and numbers when working with written things is a real challenge. At least the Hebrew letters look to me to be easy to no mix up. In our English, I really have to think about what I am seeing when working with "d" and "b," "p" and "q," or the number "5" and letter "s." As English progresses into words, the words "saw" and "was" can be easily flipped and also "no" and "on." When reading quickly these little words can cause a lot of problems for me. I think, though, that because Hebrew is read from right to left, that maybe my eye would handle the words better. Which brings me to another question. When you are reading a particular Hebrew or Arabic word, do you also read it from right to left? I ask all of these questions because sometimes dyslexia plays tricks on me when reading and as I think about this, maybe my eye was meant to read these languages instead of English. Thank you so much for your post.

Thank you for the advice. I just became aware of meetup.com last week and that would be a great way to get together with others. I did not know that I could contact a Jewish Community Center. That may be just the solution.
