Part 2 of the Hebrew From Scratch series focuses on grammatical nuances like gerunds, perfect and imperfect forms, irregular verbs, and more. There's also a lot more reading comprehension passages compared to Part 1, and they cover a wider variety of topics.
Points for being not as overtly sexist and racist as part 1, it's less an issue of problematic material here and more that the book erases women and minorities from Jewish history and religion.
Despite its flaws, I think this is one of the better books for learning intermediate Hebrew. I'd recommend it with the caveat that I would not recommend Part 1 for beginners.
