If you're confused in English you'll be confused in Greek, but you'll sound smarter. First make sure you're saved, then rightly divide the book and dispensations. Deeper things of God will never be known by unbelievers.

Koine Greek is what you'd study in Seminary. It's the language the NT was written in. You'd also take some Hebrew classes, as well.
