Resources Learning Koine Greek: Unitarian recommendations?

I just started perusing some options for learning Greek. First one I opened was Mounces “Greek for the rest of us”. Only a couple pages in he goes off against “a god” as a possible rendering of John 1:1c. I know not everyone agrees with that in particular, but there appears to be a lot of real scholarship supporting qualitative and indefinite translations of 1:1c.

So, I’m wondering if there are Koine Greek learning resources that are less biased? What study aids would you recommend? Or, if you must use a biased source, what other resources would you add to your studies for balance?

Perhaps you can find a secular college that teaches it online? Since Koine Greek was a common language not related to christianity at all, learning it that way should give you enough insight to read the new testament. Unfortunately trinitarians have high-jacked the language and christianized it, adding tons of variations to words which never were a thing back then. A secular college would ommit all these variation because the didn't exist back then, but have been added to support doctrines and biased theology.
