it isn't really a cop-out, just read an annotated version and be honest and mindful about what you read, i.e. don't pretend you read anything other than a translation.
Anyone successfully self-taught themselves a second language?
I'm up to 30% fluency in French on duolingo.
Stop reading
I finished the duolingo tree for French and I couldn't even read the petit prince. You must immerse yourself with music and shows and buy a grammar workbook as well. Duolingo is shit for grammar. I started learning German instead but I think I'm gonna go back to french
Assimil is also great for French
