Choosing an order matters more than changing textbooks. What to do first, by goal.
The usual problem is not the material but the absence of a goal. Needing a test score and wanting to hold a conversation call for different methods. Tests reward training shaped to the format; conversation requires practice at producing sentences. Fix the goal first and it becomes clear what you can skip.
At beginner and intermediate levels, most comprehension failures come from unknown words. However precisely you know grammar, a sentence will not open without the words. Filling in high-frequency vocabulary is the fastest route, and words learned inside sentences stay longer than words on their own.
Leaving on material you cannot follow at all does little. Listening widely to material you understand around 70โ80% of improves you far faster. With subtitles, a good pattern is on for the first pass and off for the second.
Rather than constantly learning new expressions, repeating a handful of useful sentences until they come out automatically helps more in real conversation. Even narrating your day to yourself in English is practice at building sentences.
Language responds to frequency of contact. Twenty minutes a day beats three hours crammed into a weekend. On a busy day, even ten words keeps the thread from breaking.
