Hello,
     The tools that you mentioned are OK but they can get you into trouble.  
I have seen so many people claim to understand New Testament Greek based 
solely on the use of these items.  And because such tools do not go deeply into the 
NT Greek language the person who relies on them is only getting surface 
information.
     This year I finished Greek one and two at the Biblical Theological 
Seminary in Pennsylvania.  The text book that we used was "Basics of Biblical 
Greek" by Mounce.  This seems to be the common seminary text.  If you are doing 
self study I would also recommend a cheap but good software package by Parsons 
Technology called Greek Tutor.  It roughly covers a year of NT Greek and it will 
help you with your pronunciation.
     Also, there are a few good Internet resources available.  One site has 
the lectures on audio of I believe a Greek One class.  And there is one school 
that I know of which offers Greek and Hebrew online.  (Site One: 
http://www.rtsvirtual.org/  Site Two:  
http://www.biblicaltraining.org/classes/greek/greek_f.html) 
     So in a nutshell:

1.  Get Basics of Biblical Greek by Mounce
2. Get Parson's Technology "Greek Tutor"
3. Listen to the online lectures found at 
http://www.biblicaltraining.org/classes/greek/greek_f.html
4.  Possibly take an online Greek course at http://www.rtsvirtual.org/ 

     Take care.

Mark
