Adjective Summary
Before continuing, yes; I know exactly what you’re thinking.

You won’t, at least not right away. Athens was not built in a day. Practice, practice, practice, and remember:
Don’t let this stop you from speaking Greek!
When you’re just starting to learn the language, it will be very obvious to any Greek people with whom you speak that you are not a native speaker. If you happen to use the wrong case or the wrong ending, it won’t be the end of the world. Make your best effort, make the inevitable mistakes, learn from them, and carry on!
