When I started Mandarin and Arabic, I immediately went out and bought (or borrowed) a dictionary, a grammar book, a phrasebook, and an audio course, plus I would try to find a magazine and a bunch of websites. I found I spent more time looking for the perfect resource that I never got around to reading the ones I had on hand. Option paralysis! Now, like you, I limit myself to one audio course and one phrasebook/grammar book/self-study guide at a time (and even then I don't really use the former once I've figured out the pronunciation). It's reassuring when others come to the same conclusion. Thanks for sharing! Absolutely you should limit the number of resources!

I mean, there's no way you'll reach C1 using a course, especially not when you're using some beginners course like Hugo. Past, let's say A2/B1, only getting input and reading will get your further.
