I’ve been thinking on doing that myself, particularly the Hebrew part. I don’t know why, I just know I would love to learn Hebrew. My question is, if all I’m planning on doing is reading Scriptures, can I learn it on-line? I mean, do I need to be able to pronounce it? I’ve found a few good sources for modern Hebrew, would it help any or would I be wasting my time? Thanks

You can get a lot out of it whether you learn to pronounce it or not. Just a suggestion though - if you decide to learn to speak Hebrew, do not follow the typical seminary process. It makes you sound like an idiot to anyone who knows how to speak Hebrew (whether modern, or using Ashkenazi pronunciation). No, the tav does not make a "th" sound, nor does the vav make a waw sound... sheesh.
