Of course through enough exposure, you could eventually intuit most of the patterns - this is what native speaker children do, up until the age that they start at school. With a language like German, which requires rather a lot of grammatical heavy-lifting to form even basic sentences, it is a pretty major shortcut. My opinion (because that's all there really are here, and you'll find a huge range): Explicit learning of grammar is a shortcut. So would it work to stick it out for A1, and then grammar can mostly be learned via immersion? A2? When does the grammar instruction reduce, and how is it necessary to explicitly learn these rules?įeeling a little overwhelmed, atm, and trying to figure out the best path. I've heard that German front-loads the grammar (intense at the start, but the further you go the more its just about vocabulary acquisition). I'm starting to wonder how long I can keep going with it.
I just started learning German a couple of weeks ago, I can't retain information learned from textbook (though can use workbooks to consolidate ideas I've already been introduced to) so I've been working through Nicos Weg online course.
But I also know that German is notorious for having complicated grammar. I dabbled in Spanish for a while, and I'm confident I could have learned that grammar mostly implicitly, with minor reinforcements here and there. Is it possible to learn German, without studying the grammar? Or at least, minimal study of grammar? I know there are some languages that can be learned very well from exposure, and then just a little explanation here and there to polish things up.
