During the last decades, the primary focus of foreign language learning has been on grammar. Nowadays, a new trend is emerging. While grammar is still important, it appears that it is better to leave it until much later – after a basic understanding of the foreign language has been developed through learning English phrases and vocabulary.

This is a renaissance of ideas developed by great Enlightenment thinkers who managed to teach thousands of foreign language students without the help of computers and internet. In agreement with John Locke, a work by James Hamilton says: “The theory of grammar should be taught only when the pupil can read the language, and understand at least an easy book in it.”

There is a surprising truth to Hamilton’s words. There are two major flaws in the traditional learning methods. One is an early English grammar drill that scares away so many potential students. The second is the emphasis on too much unnecessary detail for beginners. This slows down the learning process to a boring pace and crams student’s mind with unnecessary information.

Take for example an English language course where students learn how to say “I am”. Now it is quite redundant to teach them how to say “My name is” since they already know how to introduce themselves. The same goes with phrases like: “Where are you from” and “Where do you come from”, or “I don’t understand” and “Could you repeat”, and so on. These were real life examples. When students face this over and over again, their time is well wasted.

The language learning progress can be much faster. Recent studies show the enormous importance of English reading. In fact, reading and watching movies in foreign languages can so significantly speed up the learning process, that it’s becoming the most popular way to achieve fluency.

However, in order to make reading English books and watching English movies pleasurable, we need to understand them. The fastest way is to learn English words and English phrases. That poses a problem with the old learning methods. Ernest Blum explains in his essay: “The explosion of computer-based studies of large texts has demonstrated that the number of words needed to read foreign-language books exceeds by several multiples the amount of vocabulary that is acquired by most foreign-language students.”
