Aramaic is basically Hebrew with an attitude, as one of my professors put it. Aramaic is not hard once you have Hebrew.
Well - it's fun to translate Greek back into Aramaic, too, especially since our LORD spoke in Aramaic (see, e.g. Matthew Black). I studied Aramaic at university, incl. Targums. I found it enriching.
