It always seems that christians (and to some extent messianics) want to take away from Y'shua's humanity. I think it causes fear of heretical thought if one does so. I do believe that he studied Hebrew. We do know for sure that he knew hebrew as he read from the scrolls in the synagouge (which were all written in Hebrew).
I think that spiritually he was granted perfect discernment (ie: spirits, prophecy, etc) however, I think that he had human capacity as far as the mind goes.
just my 2 cents.
And then Melech Shlomo was just a man as well, nu?
I do hope you are not referring to me as a Christian Yafet?

I shed that skin along time ago, at least in doctrine, if not name until I understood that there was a name more fitting for what I believed.
Anyway I was not denying the Messiah's humanity, but I was referring to his perfection as per this scripture:
Luke 2
40 And the child grew, and waxed strong in spirit,
filled with wisdom: and the grace of God was upon him.
41 Now his parents went to Jerusalem every year at the feast of the passover.
42 And when he was
twelve years old, they went up to Jerusalem after the custom of the feast.
43 And when they had fulfilled the days, as they returned, the child Jesus tarried behind in Jerusalem; and Joseph and his mother knew not of it.
44 But they, supposing him to have been in the company, went a day's journey; and they sought him among their kinsfolk and acquaintance.
45 And when they found him not, they turned back again to Jerusalem, seeking him.
46 And it came to pass, that after three days they found him in the temple, sitting in the midst of the doctors, both hearing them, and asking them questions.
47
And all that heard him were astonished at his understanding and answers.
48 And when they saw him, they were amazed: and his mother said unto him, Son, why hast thou thus dealt with us? behold, thy father and I have sought thee sorrowing.
49 And he said unto them, How is it that ye sought me? wist ye not that I must be about my Father's business?
50 And they understood not the saying which he spake unto them.
51 And he went down with them, and came to Nazareth, and was subject unto them: but his mother kept all these sayings in her heart.
52 And Jesus
increased in wisdom and stature, and in favour with God and man.
By these verses Yeshua seems like He wasn't your average 12 year old.
