My first thought is to be born or adopted into a Greek-speaking family at birth, but, you seem to be a bit too old for that to work (;
When you begin to be able to read Greek, this site has excellent reading material in many languages, including Greek:

There might be some videos in Greek you can listen to, & some of the publications are available in both print & audio, if you want to study pronounciation & delivery techniques.
I think its helpful to know all you can about any language you’re trying to learn … Do you know the origin of the Greek language? That is explained here*:
Languages—Bridges and Walls to Communication
– Pidgins, Creoles, and Lingua Francas
* The Origin of Languages
– Historical and Social Factors
– The Future of Languages

The Kingdom Interlinear Translation of the Greek Scriptures is used by seminary students, & is a very good translation, showing the Greek & the English right next to each other …

Marry a Greek guy. There’s no quicker way.
i downloaded it, its called before you know it (byki) in any language and its interactive too.
maybe you could end up getting adopted or married or somethin’ like that over there….so you could learn Greek, and for free too
There’s this language program for the computer called the Rosetta Stone…it makes it really easy to learn other languages so if you can find one that has Greek on it then you could buy that
Go to Greece ,alone .
Learn to read the alphabet and then some basic stuff and then come to greece for as long as possible. Even a few weeks will help if u really try speaking greek and dont rest on the fact that most greeks speak at least elementary english. My experience is, staying in a country helps you learn the language quicker if u learn the basics first.
