@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.
