I was preparing my breakfast when suddenly the bell rang. I had been waiting for a package for weeks but this was far to early for each postman. Who could it be? I decided not to take note of it and finished preparing my cereals.

M: Hi Reinhard, I haven't seen you for a while. How are you?
I: I'm very good. What are your plans for the next view days?
M: Today I'm going to cook some Viennese Schnitzel. Maybe, there will also be some Apfelstrudel as dessert... Is there anything you want?
R: No, I'm hoping to leave as early as possible. I'm going for a walk with Laura.
M: That won't be a problem. Tell me about your trip to England!
R: All in all it was a very good experience! When I was travelling on the Lufthansa plane, the pilot suddenly told us that there would be a delay of more than an hour. After I arrived at Heathrow, I took the coach to Bournemouth. I was listening to some music on the bus, when suddenly my headphones broke.
M: Tell me about your host family.
R: I've been living at a host family in Bournemouth. They were really friendly and they have been serving lots of good food. We have had so much meat, so we decided to change it more to noodles...

My trip to England started at the end of last week. I had already packed my suitcase the day before so I could leave straight after waking up and having breakfast. While my father was driving me to the Underground station we talked about our plans for the next weeks. As I had started packing too late the day before, I had gone to bed really late and was tired because of this. After spending some time on the train I finally arrived at the airport. While I was waiting for my plane I texted some of my friends that I hadn't talked to in a while. After taking the plane and the coach I finally arrived in Bournemouth where I decided to take a bus to get to my host family's home. When I arrived I was welcomed by my host mother:
M: How was your trip? You must be really tired!
L: The trip was good but you're right, I'm really tired as I haven't slept much.
M: So what are your plans for the next weeks?
L: I've never been to England so I would like to discover the area and visit the towns nearby.
M: So you might also go to London?
L: I would really like to see it but I don't know yet if I'll go there. Do you have any recommendations for me?
M: You should definitely

On Sunday, I arrived in England and I'd never been there before.

My journey began on Sept 1st in Unterhaching where I had to wake up at about 4 am. I didn't sleep that much because I was preparing my stuff until 1 am, but nevertheless, I was not tired at all. I was really looking forward to see my exchange partner again - we haven't met for over four years now. I had promised to come to visit him when I next visited England, so it was clear that I would travel to Witney first before going to my language course in Bournemouth. And it was a really cool day there - and also quite sporty as well. I haven't tried some of the sports like (football-) tennis before, but after I have been playing this for a while, I really liked it - and I got much better as well.

Although it's been a few days now since I arrived in Bournemouth, I am still fascinated by this city because it's not that big and crowded as Munich and London are. And we are quite lucky with the weather here - it's been quite warm the last few days and it will probably rain on Saturday on the earliest. So we are going to make the most of the good weather and go hiking tomorrow to see the Old Harry Rocks.

Yesterday, we've already done some sports including going jogging on the coast - the view was absolutely awesome! Our next plans are to visit some of the cities and sights in this region, so we will have seen Portsmouth with the historical harbour, Stonehenge as well as the Cardiff by the time we return to Germany in about two and a half weeks.
But I'm not sure about the plans for today. The weather is still very good, so we will maybe go to the beach or do some sports.

Once there was a time when hedgehogs lived free and wild in the forest. They had living there till something terrible happened. It was the time when the squirrels became the rulers of the land. Now, you might think that squirrels are a very kind and cosy species but than you're probably not a hedgehog. Normally, Hedgehogs live a quite and easy-going life - normally! - but since the frantic and furious squirrels established theirselves as rulers this life is over. Once I heard two hedgehogs talking: "I've lived in the Great Forest my whole life, but now I'm feeling very uncomfortable in my skin and with that I don't mean the spike you're actually pricking in my nose, Gerda." "O sorry", Gerda replied, "I did not want that." "You're ok", the other hedgehog went on, "everytime I see a squirrel I just want to roll myself up.... I have never been to China, maybe that's a good spot where to emigrate"

I was reading a book before I went to school.

I prefer to use a pencil case because I kept losing my pencil all the time.

I hadn't been to Bournemouth before I planned my trip.

I'm sure that the ball is going to fall down after pressing the button. I won't press the button because the ball is going to fall down. If the electric circuit is broken, the button won't work and the ball isn't going too fall down. I'll go away in this case.

An average bird is going to fly away if there's too much noise. I will run away as well if there's too much noise. This noise is disturbing me every week on Friday.

After I visited all towns in England I went to Wales.

I hadn't been to Bournemouth before so when I heard my language course would be there it left me really excited.

Although I have been to England before I still find this city to be very different from the ones I've been to before. I especially like the wide variety of churches in and around town. I found most of them while I was just strolling around town.

I'll probably visit St. Peters tomorrow - although this would clash with the trip to Old Harry's Rock which I'm definitely going to tomorrow.

I really want to have visited St. Peters before the end of next week.

Don't get obsessed with it. Try to spend only 20 - 25% of your study time on grammar, and the rest on getting exposure to the language in other ways. Reading, listening, writing and speaking are all far more natural ways to interact with English: grammar is just the glue that holds everything together!

Keep a notebook where you write down verb conjugation charts and grammar rules as you come across them. This will help you keep track of what you have learned, will help new rules "stick" in your brain more easily than online learning.

Learn the words that trigger each tense and rule -- for instance, "yesterday..." often opens a sentence in the simple past tense, where "whilst I was..." often signals the past conditional tense. Learning some example sentences is very helpful.

Resolve any doubts as soon as you come across them. There is plenty of help available online. You can ask English tutors for free advice on Preply's Q&A forum!

Practice using English grammar as soon as you can by forming sentences yourself. The most efficient way is to start speaking, but don't underestimate the power of writing in English too! Follow all five of these steps, and you will see progress in your understanding of English grammar in the shortest time possible.

In short: yes, it is possible to learn English without studying grammar -- and some people do. But as long as you don't obsess over the rules, dipping into grammar can help you make sense of English faster.

In the bad old days, grammar was the primary focus of all European language teaching. In response to that, there is now a trend in ESL teaching that says "don't bother with grammar at all!"

After all, in almost every language, native speakers don't learn the grammar until they are already fluent, if ever. They just speak, listen, and speak until their sentences start to feel right. Dedicating a significant amount of your study time to grammar can be discouraging (especially for a language as illogical as English) and doesn't help you practice using the language.

However, many learners find that studying the rules takes the mystery out of English, and helps it feel logical. This is especially true when you reach an intermediate level! The best advice is probably to take grammar in small doses. Read, speak, hear and write some English, and when you start noticing patterns, look up the rules you see in use. If you have already understood some examples of a particular rule in action, learning about the grammar will probably be a moment of "aha! I get it!" rather than a long and boring trudge through theory.
