Tips for learning ancient Greek

Ive never learned a language before, and I have no clue where to begin. I know that I specifically want to learn the dialect called Attic, so I can read philosophical texts.

Im in college so I am very busy the majority of the time. Can I spend 10-30 mins a day and be successful in learning? Moreover, some resources on how to learn ancient greek would be amazing. As of now, I do know how to identify some letters and spell some words, and letters. This is just from my studies of Aristotle.

I would love to hear approaches to learning ancient greek that have worked for others. Thanks!

Need help with my writing

I learned cursive in 3rd grade, but never used it after. I just finished my first semester of college and realized that I wanted to start writing in cursive again. Since im familiar with it, it came kinda naturally to me.

The problem im having is that I need to grip my pen super tight for my lines to look good, and when I do, my hand gets very sore and I cant write for long. If I don’t grip my pen tight, my writing is kinda wobbly.

Any suggestions on what I can do to fix this?
Also I would appreciate general critique on my writing, this is week 2 of cursive for me.

(The top writing in the picture is me writing with my hand relaxed, the bottom is me writing with my hand gripping tight.)
