I found the 2024 Spring CS224N course sufficient for this pre-requisite, coupled with the textbook (chapters 1-13). Like CS336, this one also has videos and assignments available, and it being from 2024 is not a problem since the basics are mostly the same as recent years. Notably this is not true for 336, which spends much more time discussing cutting edge techniques, so the 2026 version there is essential.
