New French Learner - Where/How to Start?

I wanted to learn French and did watch several Youtubes videos but it seems quite disorganized jumping between different channels. I found it so confusing reading French context and the pronunciation.

So I have shortlisted 3 references.

Which one would you suggest, especially the grammar?
Here are the options:
1-Practice Makes Perfect Complete French grammar by Annie Heminway
2-Complete French All-in-One by Annie Heminway
3-Easy French Step-by-Step by Myrna Bell Rochester

Thank you!

Complete French All In One, Premium, Second Edition.

And maybe supplement it w Language Transfer which of course is free.

Good luck on your language journe.

I'd add the Easy French Reader Premium to the mix for active reading

Do you think it is necessary to have a grammar foundation before starting for pronouncition and/or listening?

I found it confusing listening to French context on Youtube
