I took Greek 1 online from RTS, and found it to be very doable. You have to be self-disciplined enough to study every night, but it wasn't all that tough. I even did it while deployed to Kuwait, sitting in out tent hospital with Mounce's book and my UBS4 text!

Dr. Harlow is very helpful if you get stuck, and Mounce's workbook is extremely user-friendly. Also, the NT502 (Greek 1) webpage is full of helpful resources.

One thing that should also help tremendously is to get with your pastor, or other Koine-speaker/reader, and bounce pronounciations and parsings off of him as you study.

All in all, I'd highly recommend the online option.
