Beginning...again

Hi,
I’ve attempted over many years to learn Biblical Greek on my own and it has been a struggle. Last year I decided to step back and work at Attic Greek with the JACT books and these did help but I found myself getting discouraged at the length of time it was taking me to absorb the material and I set it down - again. This really is something I want to achieve and have decided to attempt it again. I am reading Hansen & Quinn and am enjoying the book but there is just so much to take in. I have learned that a single book doesn’t work for me since I question the rules and need additional explanation. I also feel that just learning the grammar without a very strong emphasis on reading is questionable. I’ve been thinking lately that maybe a good way to learn is to be presented with a paragraph or more of text and then be introduced into topics based on that text - kind of line JACT but with a much more detailed explanation of the grammar in that block of text.
Anyway, I am excited to join this group and to learn from all of you.
God bless,
Shawn
