Leonard Muellner (Professor Emeritus of Classical Studies at Brandeis University) and Belisi Gillespie present all the content covered in two semesters of an Introduction to Ancient Greek college course.

This declension, the second of three total declensions of Ancient Greek nouns to be learned, is comprised of (mainly) masculine- and neuter-gendered nouns. Professor Muellner explains a little bit about the reasoning behind declensional differences and "gendered" nouns. He also points out some of the patterns you will encounter when declining nouns. For further reference, the full paradigms and textual explanations can be found on pages 24-27 in the Hansen & Quinn textbook.
