I always wanted to learn Hebrew. There is something about the language that attracts me, but I never found the time to learn it properly.
Now I want to make a little experiment.
First, I would focus on learning how to write, then spend some time reading books and magazines and improve my handwriting.
After, I don't know, maybe after 6 months my vocabulary should be adequate, and then I will focus on FSI Hebrew for speaking and grammar drills.
What are good resources to start learning Hebrew alphabet and writing?

Re: Best way to learn writing and reading modern Hebrew
Hello! So I can think of three resources:
1. There's the Write It! Hebrew app. It allows you to practice writing, learning the names and it has quizzes.
2. Assimil's Hebrew Script guide, unfortunately only in French: https://www.assimil.com/en/recherche?original_lang=39&lesson_lang=69&level_lang=&controller=search&orderby=price&orderway=desc The good news is that it includes cursive along with script practice.
3. Mastering Hebrew Calligraphy with Izzy Pludwinski. Beautiful book on learning Hebrew scripts. For pens, you can use the Pilot Parallel Pens. The 2.3mm, 3.0mm and the 3.9mm are good sizes.

Re: Best way to learn writing and reading modern Hebrew
When I learned to read and write Hebrew, I used both Assimil's Cahiers d'ecriture mentioned in Xenops' post above which is great for writing practice, as well as Hebrew Script Hacking which is geared more towards recognizing Hebrew letters in context via internationalisms/proper names. I can recommend both manuals as they helped me a lot.

Re: Best way to learn writing and reading modern Hebrew
Hi karmamen! Welcome to Hebrew-learning.
If you don't already have a (more or less) critical base of vocabulary (and some understanding of grammar), this is going to be an exercise in frustration. Or did you mean just skimming books and magazines to practice copying out the letters?
