Does anybody have a recommendation for a book of intermediate French grammar that would be easily and cheaply accessible second-hand?

Hängt das französische "Coucou" (informelles Hallo) sprachlich irgendwie mit dem informellen "Kuckuck" im Deutschen zusammen? Runtergereicht aus einer Zeit, als die Oberschicht noch #Französisch sprach? #learningfrench

So i got this sentence in Duolingo and it translates into "You are my Hero (Hero as a female here)", but i found it funny cause the sentence sounds like "You are my Heroin" and then i started researching what Heroin means in french.

Like, did they never notice?
