The lack of (written) vowels is less of an issue than most people think as the vowels tend to come in predictable patterns. Likewise the differences of pronunciation for ב, פ and כ are again predictable.

I really think that Hebrew is the most beginner-friendly language of all the languages that I’ve learned.
