Modern Perspective On Effective And Rapid Language Learning

Vocabulary is more fundamental than Grammar

“While without grammar little can be conveyed, without vocabulary nothing can be conveyed.” -British linguist David Wilkins

In the past, a concrete foundation of grammar. is considered as the fundamentals of learning a language. Language instruction was based on teaching the complex concepts of sentence construction, singular and plural forms, gender agreements, verb conjugation, and tenses. However, recent linguistic research has indicated that building an extensive vocabulary first is more effective in creating a strong foundation for a language.

Let’s think about how you learned English as a child. Before constructing sentences with subjects, verbs, adjectives with appropriate agreements and conjugations, you simply reached for the juice cup and exclaimed, “juice!” Your mother may have corrected you, prompting you to complete the sentence, “May I have some juice?”.

At this point, you either repeated her words verbatim or missed a few sounds somewhere within the sentence. You learned “juice” before learning “have juice” or “I have some juice”. Learning important words first can dramatically improve your focus when graduating to more complex material, as you are already confident in understanding the central focus of the phrase. In addition, not knowing the word for something in your new language will have negative effect your ability to create the appropriate “surrounding phrase” useless. For example, if you need to buy some ice, but you don’t know how to say ice, knowing the words for “I need to buy some…” will not get you very far.
