Smile Re: grammar or conversation

Weiming,

Thatīs one reason I had dialogs and not grammar books when I started learning English. I thought that learning English in theory would never make me fluent and reach conversational ability as youīve also mentioned. So I kept dialogs that would serve as a guide in what to speak whenever some instances arise. I only know the basic grammar rules that time but still I managed to speak in a way people can understand because of those dialogs. Of course, I practice with a partner, though most of the times I do it alone learning those spiels by heart. It was just when I learned of this site that I opened my eyes to knowing grammar.
