Start with the 'Phenomenology of Spirit', skip the preface as it was written last, and dive into the introduction. Having a good grasp of Kant and his Critiques will help immensely, as would a general introduction to German Idealism.

In terms of secondary literature, sometimes a break is needed from technical arguments, but if you still want to learn about philosophy, then reading biographies can be helpful, it was to me... Terry Pinkard wrote a good biography of Hegel. Manfred Kuehn wrote a very good biography of [Kant.] (https://www.amazon.com/Kant-Biography-Manfred-Kuehn/dp/0521497043/ref=sr_1_1?keywords=kant+a+biography&qid=1556548533&s=gateway&sr=8-1)

In terms of secondary literature on the Phenomenology specifically, Robert Stern's The Routledge Guidebook to Hegel's Phenomenology of Spirit and Kenneth Westphal's Hegel's Epistemology: A Philosophical Introduction to the Phenomenology of Spirit are very helpful.

Happy reading!

I've always seen Kuehn's recommended.

Hmm. So perhaps I should rather go with Kuehn?
