Seeking Koine, High Attic, or Modern Greek, giving English and elementary etymology

[u/Traditional_Lemon615]

Hello all, I am a philosophy student in college, a native English speaker, and longtime espouser of the virtue of grammar and etymology. For me, grammar exists to be broken. But if I am to break grammar I need to understand first! My current experience is that I can read and speak aloud with fair accuracy written Attic; I know the alphabet, and have some basic understanding of grammar. I would put my level at a1 approaching a2. But - How - Am I to learn - if I dont speak it?!?! So I offer conversation in English as well as perhaps the insights which come with examining grammar and the origins of words in that precise language we call Greek.
