Although I spent many years studying Torah , I never really learned the correct way to study. While I am doing my best (on my own) I feel the greatest obstacle in achieving said knowledge is my lack of understanding of the Hebrew languge. What do you think is the best way to go aboat learning the Hebrew language?
I wish you a lot of success. It’s hard to give “the right answer” to you, not knowing anything about your age, style of study, time available, etc. I’ll just tell you something that helped me, years ago.
A person needs to build a “repertoire” of things he knows. Let’s say you want to learn Talmud. So you should get one, find the translation of every word in a piece (say a paragraph), and write the translations over the words (if you need to) or on the side if that’s good enough. Anything so that you can learn to read through that piece smoothly and quickly. When you can do that, go on and add on another piece. But always go back and read through the first piece again. Keep adding sections, always going back and keeping up your ability to read quickly all the pieces before. Eventually (I believe within about 10 folio pages or so) you will have gained the ability to read almost any piece of Talmud).
All this is in addition to any lectures you’re going to. If you want, you can practice what you learn in the shiur, but what’s really important is to keep going over it, adding to the collection of things you know how to read.
This is how I learned how to read, many years ago…but you should ask others too. Everyone has to find the way to learn that works best for him.
Best wishes,
