Smali is basically an assembler for Android, one should understand it in order to reverse-engineer Android apps. Since there is no perfect Android decompiler, classic routine here goes as: disassemble Dex classes (BackSmali) -> work in Smali -> assemble back to Dex.

You can use jadx to reverse APKs and read classes' code in java.

Also you can use dex2jar to convert dex files to jar then use java decompilers to convert .class to .java, but i suggest you use jadx because it has a graphical user interface with a lot of tools to simplify reverse engineering.
