Learn grammar without learning grammar

What is that supposed to mean? Well, have you ever wondered how natives understand their language? Do they learn grammar when they are like 2 years old? Of course not! We, as a native of one language, just absorb the way people talk around us, get familiar with it, and then we implement it in our daily conversation. We do it gradually, consistently, repeatedly, but unconsciously. We should do this also in other languages we want to learn. This way, the learning process will be fun and not become a burden.


In Langoid there are several tools to help this process. Chat, for example, is one of them. By talking to people, it is easier to get a sense of how to use a certain word, how to answer a question, and how to respond properly. Find a friend that matches your learning style so you can benefit each other by learning together. 


If you want to practice writing longer, try to go to Task where you can Write Story. Write any topic that you want, minimum 50 words, and you can wait for other users to give feedback to your writing. Your story can even be marked as PERFECT when there is no single grammar mistake in it. Try to do at least 2 Story Tasks per week. It will add more benefit for you if you can do other Tasks. You can choose your own tempo, but if you want a faster learning tempo, I think it is better to limit the exercise in Tasks up to 4 Tasks per day. Your extra time can be spent on Chat.

We think the same. I agree that learning a language doesn't have to be just learning grammar by heart, because as you mentioned, who taught us grammar when we were little and learned to speak our mother tongue? It is important to listen and remember what we heared, and then repeat what we have remembered.
