As a native English speaker I wouldn’t say that Greek is exactly easy for us to pick up. I have studied Greek and Spanish and it’s abundantly clear to me which one is closely related to English and which one is not. Greek probably is easier for us than Hebrew since English and Greek are distantly related to each other but it’s definitely not like an Arabic speaker coming to Hebrew.
My case is actually shockingly close as I was born to Aramaic speaking parents, and I was born in Greece, so I learned both as a kid, then moved to North America and learned English really easy because of Greek, a lot of people who also spoke Aramaic and came to learn from the middle east had a harder time learning how to read and understand English without also knowing Greek
@@zachsmith8916I feel as if it’s the other way around, if you understand any romance languages or north Icelandic or Norse. it makes it easier for you to learn English
@@MoneyMagik-gi1ks I didn’t say that English wasn’t closely related to the Germanic or Romance languages. Spanish has been significantly easier for me to learn than Greek ever was. That’s because Spanish is much more closely related to English than Greek.
@@zachsmith8916 I just meant like converting from a romance language to english is easier than converting from english to a romance language. This is my experience tho not a fact.
You left out the part where ancient hebrew consisted of only 8,000 total words. Ancient Greek consisted of well over one million words. No one was actually speaking hebrew during the 3rd century bc when the text known as the torah was produced.
I was told that Greek grammar is a bit vague of sorts, in that you can read one particular verse as either being for or against something because the grammar is that vague. Hebrew doesn't have that vagueness I'm told. However, in Hebrew, you have some very interesting phenomenah when you really look at words. For example, most Christians and Jews do not know that YeshaYahu (Isaiah) actually literally means Y'Shua Jehovah. Y'Shua is the Messiah, and Y'shua does me salvation, but I wouldn't call him salvation because I'd call him Y'Shua. In Judaism, it is consider offensive to say G-d's name. I can use this to explain why its Yesha and Yahu. Traditional Jews of course, would not believe anything I just said because they don't believe in Y'Shua, even though they have told me on more than one occasion, that it is offensive to say the name of G-d. You don't get this richness in Greek.
One last one thats shorter. Yud Hey Vav hey can be said to mean Behold the Man, nail, Behold the Hand. Coded in the Holy Bible in Hebrew, is that Y'Shua-Jesus is one with the creator of Heaven and Earth - our Father in Heaven. However, I wouldn't take the meaning behind Hebraic letters too far, as you could go off trail. If the results don't mesh with the Bible, then its not a true meaning.
personally, I'm working m way backward, chronologically. I've taken Latin, now I'm learning Greek, and then... I guess I'll tackle either Hebrew or Sanskrit.
HEBREW all time. Learn Hebrew and you’ll never worship false prophets., plus you’ll realize all the Bible’s mistranslation issues. Best life secrets are written in Hebrew. I promise you it will not be complex. “All the souls know hebrew, just they didn’t remember”
if you are Semitic languages speaker biblical Hebrew is easy to you but if you are English speaker biblical Greek easy

That’s why you learn Hebrew. So you didn’t get joked by this christians liars.
So, it's up to the customer then.ie What a person wants to do first.

Aramaic
There are most certainly not a larger number of words to learn in Hebrew than in Greek
Learn Latin first so you understand how grammar works
Or any language but English 😆
HEBREW all time. Learn Hebrew and you’ll never worship false prophets., plus you’ll realize all the Bible’s mistranslation issues. Best life secrets are written in Hebrew.
