A friend told me:"to learn a second language, listening is more important than reading, grammar, and remembering vocabulary."
But from my viewpoint, I think, for a non-native, yes, listening is important, however, reading, grammar, and remembering vocabulary are more important
What do you think? |

They are all important. Grammar is probably the least important unless your objective is to pass an exam. You can learn a language a lot faster if you don't worry about perfection (grammar rules). |

This is a very good idea that makes sense.
It even encourages me to further work on English.
By the way, I like reading fables and I think that it is very developing.
Take a look at this:

and read like a child . It is quite funny.
