Hi there ! Your situation is quite common. You`re at the right place. ( No they`re not paying me to say that ; just speaking from my own experience.) My usual answer would be to start at GF1, then to GF2 and then on to whatever interests you. You`ll probably zip through a lot of GF1 but at least you can be confident that you haven`t missed anything. Hope that helps.
