This essay by the late prof. William Harris of Middlebury College details a thoughtful approach to the 'Direct Method' of learning ancient languages. The key to this method is to pick up some very basic grammar and then proceed directly into an ancient text--in his case, Homer's Iliad.
Harris' website at Middlebury College was kept up after his death, but doesn't appear to be functioning anymore.
