Importance of Vocabulary in Language Learning
When learning a new language, the importance of grammar should not be the primary focus, especially in the beginning. While grammar is essential in constructing coherent sentences, the ability to effectively express oneself can be achieved using vocabulary alone. Building a solid vocabulary foundation allows learners to communicate efficiently, even without using complex grammatical structures. By focusing on learning a wide range of words and their meanings first, learners can later integrate grammar to enhance their language skills.
