Anyone interested in learning Aramaic or Syriac? I would like to learn it so if anyone can teach it, that would be great!
Aramaic is the language the Jews spoke after the exile. The Peshitta is written in Aramaic as well as parts of Daniel and Ezra. Jewish Targums, much of Jewish rabbinic literature and a lot of Syrian Christian literature is in Aramaic. Also some of the Dead Sea Scrolls.
Aramaic has many scripts. The square script Hebrew is in today was adopted from Aramaic.

For the Peshitta you can use the Peshitta tool by dukhrana. They also have a number of lexicons you can download. I taught myself some of the scripts so I can find words in the lexicons but I can't read very well. I hope to be able to read it one day!
