Hello,
I'd like to learn Attic Greek now that I have both the time and motivation to do so. Will there be another White group beginning soon or does anyone else have recommendations for a study group?
Thanks!
New White study group beginning soon?

I do not know when another White group will start, but I doubt it will start anytime soon.
My recommendations to you depend on your previous experience with studying foreign language. White's book assumes some experience with Latin. If you have mastered at least one other foreign language, even if it's not Latin, I think you can handle White on your own for a while, asking questions on this board as they come up.
If you have not mastered a foreign language, you should either have a general grammar book handy to help you with figuring out the grammar, or you can look into textbooks which might be more beginner-friendly. Or you can try to go through White on your own until another group starts, and when that groups starts you'll have a head start.
If you want to learn Greek, now is the time to start, not when the group starts.
White teaches Attic Greek. If you haven't done so already, I recommend you read http://www.aoidoi.org/dialects.html
