I don't follow any tradition, I study them each comparatively. As it was explained to me, you can look at the different Kabbalic systems as each having a different kind of function or have been built for a particular purpose. There are quite a few different ways to make use of the Tree of Life glyph.
I study it to discover its underlying archetypes and principles, working to understand the Tree of Life as a correspondence structure in which opposites can be harmonized and the low can attain to the high.
My study of Hebrew is slow going, mostly relating to Gematria at the moment although I am intending to get some calligraphy pens soon to get more intimate with the letters themselves. There are certain letters which I am more knowledgeable than others. I do not think Hebrew is necessary to know fluently in terms of language, but the letters should be known and their values, which is a task of remembrance in and of itself and is something I am still working on.
Right now I am engaged in a thorough study of the Golden Dawn system, they study Lurianic Kabbalah.
