I agree with you Tacuba, to a certain extent. I do believe that sometimes we get all caught up in grammar and get so confused that we end up not trying to speak it.

I do believe that grammar is very important but not to the extent that it stops us from practicing, practicing, practicing.

I also believe that it is very important to expose ourselves to all aspects of the language and the culture. We cannot just learn spanish and not know anything about the people.

It is a very long road to travel but in the end, it is all worth it!

Or even practising regional spelling differences.

I do not know my Spanish grammar, and that's an understatement. therefore you cannot understand any of what I am writing either.

Nobody does. nobody understand me...
