Hello. I'm interested in learning the language of Jesus, and from the little I've researched I see a good bet is to learn Classical Syriac in Serto script which is close to that and which will enable me to read the Peshitta. However, I live in India and I'm very poor and cannot spend too much money on resources. Spending 20$ on books is about what I can spend. So keeping that in mind, can you advise me what would be a good way to start off - whether with free electronic resources (I don't think I can use my credit card internationally) or with cheap print books that are easy to get in India? I also have a Kindle and can purchase Kindle ebooks from Amazon.com as long as they are cheap. But I'm not sure whether the device supports non-English languages as I've not tried yet. Thanks for your advice.
