Leonard Muellner (Professor Emeritus of Classical Studies at Brandeis University) and Belisi Gillespie (Phd candidate at UC Berkeley) have posted 64 videos on YouTube, which, when taken together, “present all the content covered in two semesters of a college-level Introduction to Ancient Greek course.”
The textbook used is Hansen, Hardy, and Gerald Quinn. Greek: An Intensive Course. 2nd edition. New York: Fordham University Press, 1992. And if you read the blurb that accompanies each video on YouTube, you’ll find out 1) what material each video covers, and 2) what pages are being used in the Hansen & Quinn textbook.
Made available online by Harvard’s Center for Hellenic Studies, the playlist of Ancient Greek lessons will be added to our collections, Learn 48 Languages Online for Free: Spanish, Chinese, English & More and 1,700 Free Online Courses from Top Universities.

I am very excited to start the course. I just purchased the book on amazon, and as soon as it arrives, I will begin.
I am also looking forward to taking this course. I followed an EXCELLENT intro to Attic Greek course at the University of Ottawa, using this book, then fell out of practice but kept the book because I want to dive back in. I have been looking for guidance to go back through the textbook and can’t believe I have found this, the answer to my prayers! Let’s get started!

I live permanently in a nursing home and don’t have any money. Where can I learn ancient Greek of Homer, Plato, etc., for free or little money?
