Probably the cheapest way to acquire material and dive into the Akkadian language, is it hamstrung by its age and the older methodology/lack of explicit method.
Self learners without much experience in learning languages (especially ancient ones) will find it extremely challenging, considering the lack of method or general instruction. However, considering the size and cost, the amount of material as well as included exercises are pretty impressive.
Personally, I’ve paired this with a Grammar of Akkadian - it functions well as a quick reference for cuneiform characters as well as additional exercises on noun and verb paradigms.
