What's the smartest way to learn Ancient Greek? Should I start by memorising all the articles or by translating simple sentences and slowly getting a grasp of the grammar that way?

unironically read Plutarch's Moralia, book I, point 1: Περὶ παίδων ἀγωγῆς (On the Education of Children)

You should memorize all the rules with picrel. Then you can start reading Athenaze. Or better, start Athenaze after finishing the first 2 units of the grammar book, and keep doing them in parallel. Then you can go on to Athenaze 2, or maybe read Anabasis.

There are other ways, but you should be more specific on what you want exactly in these threads of yours.

my book >>19035087 is better than yours in libgen. It isn't digitilazid. The pages are only scannings and you can't copy and paste the Greek words within it to put them in Anki

If you were even slightly serious you would shell the few shekels to get the physical book.

I prefer the digital version needed for Anki.

Assuming you are a brainlet and/or are unacquainted with highly inflected Indo-European languages, I recommend starting with pic related. It is quite retard-friendly and by focusing on the Bible (whose writing is much more straightforward than classical authors) you will make worthwhile progress quickly.

You know you can create cards in Anki with images? I used to just cut and paste whole sections of the pdf using okular. Nowadays I use Margin Note 3 on the Ipad and it automatizes the whole process. Basically creates mindmaps and anki cards while I annotate the book.

I like Greek: an intensive course because it has compact tables and every unit is the right level of exhaustive, so I can simply make every unit into one anki card. But I'm going to take a look at the book you found, it looks interesting.

It's shit, >>19035087 I fogot I only keep it becaus it has tables for the third declension, but not for the other declensions, I don't konw why. But the tables for the third declensions are better explained than in the Wikipedia

Seconding this. And then focus on the grammar first and foremost. Once you have the grammar down, learning individual words is a peace of cake. You'll also find that learning other languages is easier, since you've dedicated so much time to learning such a antiquated language, you already have the skills to tackle new ones.

From Alpha to Omega by Anne Groton. It's on libgen. If you can read German, Kantharos or the online course on gottwein.de
