<<Smyth's _Greek Grammar_ is unquestionable the best reference grammar for
classical Attic Greek in English, but it is decidedly NOT a textbook from
which to learn Attic.>>

Perhaps, but I'm assuming that a knowledge of Greek (Koine) already exists. 
 In that case, all that needs to be done is to sit down with a text, a 
grammar (such as Smyth), and a lexicon (Liddell & Scott).  A little hard 
work and voila!  Account for every form. (I remember being up until 3:00 
A.M. every morning with Smyth while reading Homer and Plato).
