Introduction to Biblical Hebrew Course

I would like to suggest that Logos produces a Mobile Ed course that teaches/serves as an introduction to Biblical Hebrew.
We currently have the GK101 course (https://www.logos.com/product/149243/mobile-ed-gk101-introduction-to-biblical-greek), which is an 'Introduction to Biblical Greek' that covers the vocabulary, grammar, and syntax of the Greek New Testament. It seems appropriate that we have a similar offering for Biblical Hebrew.
Currently all that is on offer via Mobile Ed for Hebrew is a one hour course on the alphabet (https://www.logos.com/product/187513/mobile-ed-interactive-hebrew-alphabet-course) and a 12 hour course on how to use Hebrew in Logos (https://www.logos.com/product/190343/mobile-ed-la171-learn-to-use-biblical-hebrew-in-logos).
Why should Logos do this? Couple of reasons. First, it demonstrates the importance of the original languages of the bible, and shows our commitment to handling them well. Second, a majority of seminary and bible college students are only required to learn one original language - and the overwhelming majority will choose Greek. Should any of those students (or anyone else for that matter) seek to learn Hebrew at a later date, there are not that many resources they can turn to. A Logos Mobile Ed course can help fill this gap.
Lastly, its worth mentioning that there is currently a 'Introduction to Biblical Aramaic' Mobile Ed course in production (https://www.logos.com/product/254633/mobile-ed-la251-introduction-to-biblical-aramaic). While I am pleased that this resource is being produced, I must confess my confusion that an introductory course for Aramaic is being produced before a Hebrew one, given just how little Aramaic there is in the Bible compared to Hebrew.

After doing a little more digging, I have found that Logos used to offer a Introduction Course, but it is no longer available (https://www.logos.com/product/130507/mobile-ed-introduction-to-biblical-hebrew-bundle). Why this is, I have no idea.
