about millions of people

[philadelphia]

The only way most people in my school learnt any grammar was by learning a foreign language, but since that was optional, it certainly does not apply to the vast majority.


I only make this point in order to help learners understand that a lot of native English speakers only learn their native tongue by listening, speaking, reading and writing, but NOT by studying.

I started mastering the grammar of my native language's when I was learning English at an intermediate level. It's frankly worth comparing both with each other.


I started learning English by the grammar and then have been keeping improving my English by reading, writing, listening and speaking. I hear the sound of a sentence to know whether it is correct.

I agree with you.
