I would strongly disagree. My personal language learning experience so far has been immersion as the only way to go. Constantly hearing and reading a new language will teach you that language. Learning the grammar is basically useless because when talking or writing the end goal is not to think about it anyway. Maybe a bit of a controversial statement but I think learning grammar in a formal language learning setting is a relict of the past and mainly exists to assert the reasoning behind formal learning itself.
