Nearing the end of French Duolingo section 2 and wondering if I should start trying to use some other resources.

Highly recommend picking up a grammar book too! It will give you confidence when you can revise what you've learned and understand it better!

Is there anything you could recommend? I do find myself parroting at times and googling it afterwards, definitely think I'd benefit from a deeper understanding.

Sadly I can't give any recommendations for French :( hope someone in this thread who is learning French can pitch in. If not, then it could be a good idea to make a post in this community asking for one maybe?

I know exactly how you feel though. I started my German language learning with duolingo (still do it!) and while it's fun I felt like I started struggling later on at higher levels since I didn't really understand the sentence structure and certain rules. Got myself a grammar book and I started enjoying duolingo again after that and find it still really useful for actual vocabulary training.
