-comment-

I thought it's true that grammar is sometimes overemphasized in Japan.

Studying grammar is really important because there are many differences between English and Japanese, but I think it's too much and we can't have opportunity to hear native English so often in Japan.

Our Japanese-English accent can't use, its too hard to understand for the people who use English.

To speak English we need to memorize a lots of words to understand what people are saying.

When I come across to the word that I don't know, at first I guess what does it mean. Next I look up a dictionary, and I make a short sentences. I'm doing this since high school and it'll help me to memorize faster.
