Grammar is important

I think the point is how do you arouse the interest of a learner, how you learn it becomes the second important issue. Give the learners a rationale behind the learning, make up one if you need.

Grammar is important, especially in learning a foreign language, as you are not exposed to it in your daily life, you have to learn it from the classroom, that is really the short-cut if you want to grasp grammar efficiently and effectively, of course it is monotonous and boring, but without this painful process, you can hardly be uplifted.

The interest behind is the driving force to overcome the difficulty. Grammar is the foundation, all foundation work is no fun. Grammar to a certain extent makes your message precise. I come across no one who can write well and whose grammar is bad, yet I have seen too many people who write poorly and their grammar is bad. You may not think this is a corelation.

Skipping grammar is only realistic when the language is the learner's mother tongue, and when he lives in that language environment, eg international school or country of that language, where there are always opportunities to read, speak and write.

I would agree to pinpoint OUT OF PROPORTION on grammar creates evitable stress and neglects the most important essence of language - communicating.

I do not object to some reciting of some classical texts, meaningful texts, when it is of a reasonable magnitude. Works of our precursors are invaluable. Is it right to build up yr database by copying first, then create, correct me if it is not.

The rationale behind learning, and the reasonableness and appropriateness behing the learning process are the keys.
