Hebrew is great for Biblical or Torah studies. As a modern language, the population with which you can communicate is fairly small. ... Hebrew is also useful if you want to learn Arabic at some point. If you plan to learn only one new language, French, Spanish or Chinese might be more useful. Probably the most advantageous reason to learn Hebrew is the ability to understand the original author's words, rather than through the translator's opinion of the author's words. Learning the Hebrew language can be both fun and exciting.
