Advice on learning French oomfs?

Advice on learning French oomfs? In school I did it up until GCSE and got the equivalent of a B+ in it, but that was ages ago. Duolingos good for refreshing myself on vocab and I've got a ton of french language films but i was wondering what to do for getting back on top of the grammar and stuff

@MossGrowsOnNormanRuins Like any language, immersion and a dictionary. -

@MossGrowsOnNormanRuins Like Chjara said, immersion, grind books to get a good understanding of grammar and then start watching stuff, movies, TV, youtube, just become someone who lives in the language. You can't learn language in a classroom.

@MossGrowsOnNormanRuins imo reading anything in french alongside a direct translation (plus basic stuff like recognizing verbs, pronouns, etc.) is a massive help. lawlessfrench.com is the one i use the most as a GCE student. you could look at a few syllabuses at that level and choose a book to read, they choose ones which are pretty short and not too hard.
most of the confusion in french (at least for me) came from not recognizing a very short word between some ones which you do, and forming an incomplete meaning from that. eg, "j'en ai cinq" might look like "i in have 5" which doesn't mean anything but it's actually "i have 5 [of them]." most of those are just reflexive, indirect, or direct pronouns. so read up on those on lawlessfrench!
i've found also that translating text is much easier than speech, so when you feel confident enough maybe watch a tv show in french with french subtitles. i think that's where i really became more confident. -
