I'm so tired of this self-help zen-garbage."USING MY FABULOUS PATENTED ALL-NATURAL, BUDDHA APPROVED, 'ENLIGHTEN-FAST' TECHNIQUE, I'VE BEEN ABLE TO SAVE MILLIONS OF DOLLARS AND BUY A YACHT AND YOU CAN TOOOooo!!!"Buried for the yin-yang symbols, the words "holistic learning", in fact... and I can't believe I didn't notice this, BURIED FOR ZENHABITS.NET.
In this case, you would have to first learn the basics of the language by memorization (it shouldn't be too hard to learn the basic structure). After that, you relate all further information learned about the language (such as words and grammar) to this basic model you've created for yourself. While this may sound intuitive, many people tend to stick with rote memorization even after they've built themselves a solid foundation in a subject (in my experience; I assume it as a general truth). Remembering words and grammatical rules becomes a whole lot easier when you relate them to each other and the foundation you've built yourself in the beginning. This can mean the difference between learning a language in 2 years, and learning it in 6 months.The general idea of this article is that knowledge and understanding are different in the sense that isolated knowledge is easy to forget, whereas truly understanding a bit of data by adding it to a greater "network" of information will burn it into your memory.

It's Latin. Learn the Latin behind the long descriptions, you've learned the anatomy.

A very pompous article, nothing more. If he really was such a gifted learner, why couldn't he get into a better University?

I don't think 'grammar' means what you think it means.
