Aramaic and Hebrew can be taught online, I dont see the point though. You should learn more useful languages like Spanish, German, French, Cantonese etc

You could try using 'google translate' or one of the other online translators out there...if you just want to make something quick on the fly. They might have Hebrew, but may not likely have Aramaic?

That language and dialect died out 1800 or more years ago. Even the cuneiform, or hieroglyphic, characters, used at that time were not standardized, and often only the author could "read" them. Better learn your own language, and probably Chinese, too. I'm sure that will be a big help soon.

Aramaic. The largest population of speakers live in the north suburbs of Chicago after they were driven out of their homelands by the muslim invaders. So if you live in Chicago, look it up. There was an interesting article about this dying language in a recent copy of Smithsonian magazine; I think there were people mentioned you might be able to contact.

Good luck-

Linguists are working hard to preserve it.
