One of my professors could read Akkadian. He had to master Biblical Hebrew before being allowed to begin studying Akkadian. He said he had hundreds of flashcards and spent at least an hour every day studying them - aside from doing his regular coursework.

I took 25 credit hours each of Biblical Hebrew and Latin, and I am quite content never having attempted Akkadian.
