Thanks, Barnaby, for your response!

Good example of the importance of knowing words first! I can’t deny you’re right on that. I also agree with you learning vocabulary early on is important but, as one of those weirdos who like grammar, I can’t totally dismiss it, even at the beginning. I like to learn basic sentence structures and certain forms like “to want to”, how to express possession, the basic future tense construction, and such.

Ceci dit, sur le long terme, les deux seront importants !
