If you mean reference grammars, then the starting point is
Jouon-Muraoka, Grammar of Biblical Hebrew, 2 vol.
Some will suggest Waltke-O'Conner, Biblical Hebrew Syntax,
Eisenbraun's, 1990. It has a lot of examples but a somewhat
brittle/artificial approach to many issues that needs caution for students.
For intermediate level, see Christo van der Merwe, et al.
Biblical Hebrew Reference Grammar, Sheffield, 1999. He has a better
approach to issues, though of more limited scope, than Waltke-O'Conner.
If you are talking about learning Hebrew, then the place to
start is through "listening comprehension" available in
Living Biblical Hebrew for Everyone, v. 1 + 3 CDs.

An intensive 6-week immersion program is also available here in the
summer in a quiet spot in the hills of Judea.
