Well I have started to learn Hebrew (informally) and we are using Biblical Hebrew: An Introductory Grammar by Page H. Kelley although I have been using A Grammar for Biblical Hebrew by C. L. Seow. What are your thoughts on these grammars?

I used Seow in my Hebrew class in seminary. It was good, but had a bunch of typos which my professor pointed out -- I scribbled these corrections into my copy. I hope they've fixed them! I have never used another grammar so I can't speak to any others.

"It is part of the calling of the ekklesia to learn to know the love of Christ that surpasses all knowledge and also to make known within the world of science 'the manifold wisdom of God' in order that the final end of theology, as of all things, may be that the name of the Lord is glorified. Theology and dogmatics, too, exist for the Lord's sake." — Herman Bavinck, Reformed Dogmatics, vol. 1, p. 46

When I was at WSC, we used Futato's Grammar
https://www.eisenbrauns.com/ECOM/_2AA14453H.HTM

I believe it is also available in Bibleworks and Logos.

When at WTS-Dallas, we used Ross's grammar:

We used Kelly at RPTS and I found it to be very good, though I couldn't compare it to any other...

Incidentally, once you learn it, keep using it, or else you'll end up like me... :-( I've forgotten most, if not all the Hebrew I learned in seminary (and I did very well in class). But, if you don't keep up on it, it fades away fast...

I appreciate the honest admission of faded-away Hebrew - especially from a working pastor! Don't let your Session find out! I'm kidding...

Back in the Ancient Times, I studied first-year Hebrew using Jacob Weingreen's grammer (1st edition, 1939; 2nd edition, 1959). I guess it's not much used anymore; at least that's my impression.

Faith and repentance are born together and aid the health of each other. - Charles Spurgeon (1834-1892), on July 23, 1865

I've used Seow, Futato, and a few others - use Futato. His clear layout and well planned progression of concepts is superior to that of Seow. Also, his explanation of basic Hebrew syntactical categories and their usage, along with the simple and well thought out beginner's exercises which are found at the conclusion of every chapter, are to be preferred. I actually found his Grammar to be enjoyable.
