Hi @B0bby
The Chris Colah blog post is very good at explaining how RNNs work and I don’t there are significantly better posts out there.
I would suggest to implement the RNN for yourself in excel or similar. At least for me, that made a lot of things clear. Here is some screenshots of it (RNN and LSTM). There is some magic when your Excel spreadsheet can translate sentences from English to German 
.
Cheers
