¿Con cuál de estas ideas te identificas?

Without grammar, language doesn't exist.
A solid knowledge of all the rules is necessary to speak a language
well.
The best way to learn a language is practice, practice, practice the
correct usage.
Good English means correct English.
Games do not promote learning, they promote having fun and nothing
else.
Making mistakes reflect poor learning.


Communication Means More than Understanding Rules
Communication is possible even when we make mistakes
Understanding rules in my head doesn't mean that I can communicate.
There are many different styles of learning, some of which do not
include "grammar banging".
The only thing that is important is that people can understand me and
I can understand them.
Many native speakers make mistakes in grammar usage.
Doing grammar exercises all the time is boring and therefore leads to
lack of attention.
Playing games is a great way to actually use the language - not just
study it.
It is difficult to become fluent if the teacher interrupts me every 30
seconds to correct a grammar mistake.
Grammar is boring!
