Resources for studying Greek?
This is for anyone with a working knowledge of ancient Greek.
1. Should I focus on classical Greek? I've heard that if you learn classical Greek you can understand koine, but the reverse is not necessarily true. If so, Homeric first? Or Attic?
2. Any courses/texts you recommend for young people/beginners? My older kids used Hey Andrew but honestly I think it's a bit too slow?
3. Any courses/text you know of for classical Greek that are geared towards or based on word frequency in the LXX?
4. Reader based or grammar based?
5. Best reader texts/models for beginners in classical Greek? Xenophon? Homer? (I've heard Homer is difficult?) Plato?
6. Pronunciation: Erasmian? Reconstructed? Liturgical/modern? Does it matter?
7. Recommended lexicons, grammars, etc?

Re: Resources for studying Greek?
Stick to Koine Greek. The only lexicon I own is the latest Walter Bauer edition. It is what we used in college.
Other than enrolling at your local university, I am not familiar with other educational options.
LXX grammar is a bit different than that of the Koine used in the NT. We did not spend any time in LXX material in college.
Our Greek professor help us pronounce the words correctly. It is a minor issue.

Re: Resources for studying Greek?
Just received the following from my friendly FedEx guy:
Septuaginta (two volume Reader's Edition with lexical apparatus for all words occurring 100 times or less plus a full glossary minus proper nouns. This is a Rahlf's-Hanart text in reader's format (paragraphed) with some critical apparatus interfacing with the Gottenstein (sp?) edition.)
Several hardback Greek New Testaments (reader's edition, Textus Receptus/Stephanus/Elzevir text based).
Xenophon's Anabasis (Loeb Classic bilingual Greek-English)
Babrius' and Phaedras' Fables (Loeb Classical Greek-English and Latin-English. Babrius' Fables are commonly known as "Aesop's Fables".)
Now I need a good LXX lexicon, a BGAD/BADG whatever it's called lexicon, and a decent grammar, and a scope and sequence for Greek. I think I'm going to focus on Attic, that way I'll be working with both classical and koine stuff. I can tackle Epic style later if I feel the need.

Re: Resources for studying Greek?
Also, I have downloaded a LXX frequency list and a LXX lexicon (not sure of the quality of the lexicon yet, I'll be stuck with LSJ as my go-to for now).

Re: Resources for studying Greek?
*Might I suggest Dr. Maury Robertson’s “Greek for Everyone?” Having taken both Mounce and Robertson, I can say that Robertson was far easier to aid in memorization. It still takes work, but just seems much quicker to me personally. It costs $8.00/Mo. and you get a certificate/diploma after you finish equivalent to one year of university Greek morphology.
*Dr. Robertson is always responsive when I get stuck, either by email or phone. He knows I am Oneness (who doesn’t ?) and he has no issue w. it. Indeed, the concessions he makes regarding masc. sing. adj. are stunning. I am in Greek II now (also with Robertson), as well as Hebrew I (Dr. Van Pelt).
*Here is the link Bro.: https://greekforeveryone.com/blog/
