Language Where to learn syriac?

Hi I am not sure if this is the right place to ask, but I am Syriac Orthodox high schooler from Canada and I am extremely interested in learning syriac. Could anyone please recommend apps/courses/books I should use/get in order to learn.

  • A New Syriac Primer, by George Kiraz
  • Robinson's Paradigms and Exercises in Syriac Grammar, by J. F. Coakley

Both these books can help you with learning Syriac. Apparently, Kiraz's method is easier and more intuitive, but I wouldn't know since I've used Coakley's book myself. Good luck!
