I am going to begin a Hebrew class tomorrow. Now Hebrew, as opposed to Greek, is very intimidating to me for a few reasons.

1. The letters of the Hebrew alphabet (or should I say "alephbet"?) look nothing like those of Latin origin.
2. Hebrew is written from right to left. Okay, so this isn't a serious concern of mine.
3. There are no vowels, only vowel points, which I'm sure won't be that big of an issue.
4. The grammatical terms are also foreign. You have words like, "Qal", "Niphal", "Hiphil", and "Hithpael" describing the action and time of verbs.

I know that once I begin to learn the language I will have a longer list.
