Language / Learning Polish but not focusing on the grammar, good idea? [37]
Try just poking at pictures on babadum.com . I started doing that in July (not even every day) and by now I already get 100+ scores (which means that of 4 pictures I can tell which one is the word, more than 100 times). Not a bad way to gain vocabulary...
Grammar is a logical dissection of the rules of a language, which is something that you don't do while speaking. Our brain is a gigantic pattern matcher, and by speaking/hearing/reading the language you'll automatically start using the correct phrasing even if you don't know why.
