I am surprised , an English teacher is saying that we don't need to learn grammar to speak in English.

"You're an English teacher." And "Are you an English teacher?" Could you understand what I want to tell if I speak in either of these sentences. This is where we need grammar.

yes exactly and I recommend EffortlessEnglish method for better speaking skill!

We don't need to learn English grammar to speak English. Grammar is a waste of time.

Wow... I suprised. Are you sure?

I think the writer means unnecessary learning of difficult grammar that we do not need it in our speaking and listening.otherwise we need grammar to be understood clearly

friends grammar is a not waste of time .we don't understand pure grammar, our think is not possibal . we r not know english fully

I hate grammar like all students, cuz this is the hardest thing when someone is learning a foreign language. But Im pretty sure dat grammar int a waste of time. Grammar makes our speeches are richer or more advanced. We need to learn grammar, but u know. It isnt pice of cake.

No its not at all waste of time, if you know grammar properly you can speak better than who do not know grammar.However, while speaking you do not need to focus on grammar so much because if you focus so much,it will let you not speak fluently and fluency is the most important thing for speaking

Grammar is something important in learning

Hi all of you. I'm guest here. But on my side I believe that knowing grammar is goog. Grammar help to create any sentense of your own after getting new words. It much easier to read English book and being well understood. Thanks.

I am agree with all of you but we know basic of gramer to lean English.

Grammar is needed for learners because it helps in forming structured sentences. While learning tenses, degrees and parts of speech one gets to know to form correct sentences and therefore there might be less chances of making mistakes.

I think I agree with you in the sense that when learning English Grammar does not need to be prioritized, but I still do think it is important in making statements that make sense. If grammar is not at least loosely understood many misunderstandings can arise from using incorrect grammar. Although I think vocabulary is a little more critical because it helps with understanding and communicating with native speakers. I think when learning through conversation vocabulary could be prioritized and grammar could be less of a priority because it can be for the most part picked up when speaking to a native speaker.

Grammar is an essential part of English.
I think that without grammar there is no existence of English.

You will not be a full-fledged English speaker and writer without the grammar. It might not be necessary for routine talk, but you need it for work or any other type of communication.

knowing grammar shows how educated he is and you see who you're talking to.
