I read the Hebrew Bible silently, without pronouncing any words at all because I just look at it as letters that make up words like a silent language. The people here got very mad at me when I told them that. You already broke the most important unwritten rule on language discussion forums: Never tell people what you are really doing. Just act like everybody else. Nobody needs to know if you have any ulterior motives that they won't like because they might decide not to answer you. Some people here told me I was wasting their time by asking questions about Biblical Hebrew because I admitted I am not trying to actually learn the language in the usual way. They said they won't answer any of my questions anymore. I just wanted to study Biblical Hebrew without trying to learn the language, which is a little diffUSER STATISTICSerent, but I am still studying the language anyway.
I am not sure I understand what you are trying to do, but I think you should not have told anybody.
Do you have a direction mapped out for the study? I never finished biblical Aramaic, but I think that Syriac might be a better attack vector, given that it has a larger corpus of literature. Are you going to do paid lessons, or would you like to perhaps start a chavruta to study together?

I set my private message thing not to accept any private messages, but I put it back on if you want to contact me for some reason. I think I will just leave it on from now on.
