Learning grammar in an “old school” wayis the best method if the language you are learning is from another family
Online i see MANY stuff saying that the traditional language learning method with vocaboulary and grammar is useless or not efficient, but actually, i found it very useful on languages different from your native language.
i’ll take me as an example, my mother tongue is italian and Emilian, a regional language similar to french and spanish, so 2 latin languages, so it was actually pretty easy, till b1 level to learn spanish without almost never opening grammar books, only to get to b2 i needed to study grammar stuff, same thing was for english, since english is kind of a special language, very practical and with “unefficient“ grammar, in fact i almost reached a c1 level without studying grammar.
now i have been learning german for more than 2 years, and in the meantime i started approching polish and japanese. For all those tree languages, grammar and repeating stuff and doing exercises was actually the only way to become better, and also managing to become fairly fluent in german.
What i want to say is, no; listening to podcast, songs, native speakers or doing flashcards all day long will not get you fluent, (IF YOU STUDY A LANGUAGE FROM ANOTHER FAMILY), you need to write grammar rules; learn the cases, learn the coniugations, if not, you will only know some random words, some random stuff without actually knowing how to create sentences.
