When learning languages I used to focus on the grammar because it was most interesting to me (and words you can always look up in a dictionary). But for the most recent language I’ve attempted I’ve focused on just learning a ton of vocabulary and it’s made a huge and positive difference. Simply knowing a lot of words means you can read newspapers and twitter or whatever and allows you more chances to see the grammar in action.
