There are multiple views on which language to begin with...
1/ Greek first, then Latin, or other way round
2/ if Greek, then Hellenistic or Homeric first.
I did Hellenist Greek, then Latin (but I had significant Spanish first).
My feelings about learning Latin after Greek... it was Barbaric but Home (quoting Disney's musical 'Aladdin'), but that's the entire charm of such Spenglerian, Romantic languages, is it not? After Spanish and Greek it was really easy too. I suppose if you learn Sanskrit first, you can say the same thing about Greek.
But first, let us Bronze Age Barbarians learn Greek.
Proceed to [[Hall of the Alphabet]]
Or, read the [[Homeric Syllabus |HomericSyllabus]]So, participants should <a href="https://archive.org/details/homericgreekabo01phargoog">download the book</a>, read through the first 50pp (all the ones with Latin Letters) before 'Lesson 1' and expect updates on what do this coming weekend.
Introduce yourself and your goals and why you want to do this.
All are welcome, moving at any pace, if we move faster than you like you have a clue-thread to follow and so will future joiners. We'll try to finish the book this year with schedule to come.
I'm just a Frog Newb like you to this subject. Let's learn from each other.
Remember, this was an Iron Age/Kali Yuga text we are reading, written looking backwards to Bronze and earlier, just like BAM.
Have a video about the Kali Yuga: http://kitsap.whigdev.com/post/19_kali-yuga.html

Moar: http://kitsap.whigdev.com/usernamenvidzThe Grammar begins on p. 266 of the PDF in [[Let's Learn Homeric Greek]]
Many people think that 'learning the alphabet' will be the hard part of this language. Actually, you can learn new alphabets rather easily (that is part of their charm) ... a couple weeks worth of practice and you will have an entirely new problem: you will be able to spell the words, but you won't know what they mean.
<img src="https://kitsap.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/public/games/4530-6a6c2e10560cad4f6df31f78f96811f1.jpg" />We can spend a few days discussing the finer points of the alphabet (and how we will represent it in ASCII!)
As far as pacing is concerned, there are 77 lessons and we want to finish this year. A standard school year in America is 18 + 18 weeks or 36, so it was clearly intended to have 1-2 per week, so we will go slowly at first (1 per week) and then work up to 2 per week.
We'll start lessons on Saturday I think, and that will give people a week to do them, and the weekend to catch up if they need to.
