I'd say Chinese is more important than Hebrew if you're talking about any kind of script though it's also harder to penetrate. Hebrew is basically a form of imperial Aramaic.
Then there are the Arabic scripts.

I find the English alphabet to be quite useful

isnĀ“t chinese a non-alphabetical script

Yeah it's logographic like the hieroglyphs but a lot of history's knowledge is contained in texts written with it. Any weeb worth their salt should know katakana and hiragana.

Sanskrit is a language, not a script retard
Also "Hebrew Script" is actually Aramaic Script

It's best you start with Linear A. That should help you a lot.
