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
