Is studying grammar required?

Studying anything is not a requirement for using the AJATT method. AJATT is about acquiring a language through immersion. The core idea is that if infants can do it, adults can too. There is a big difference between acquisition and studying. Instead of studying, AJATTers strive to understand messages in the target language when they immerse.

If by studying grammar you mean learning from a grammar guide, we often recommend doing it because it optimizes your path to fluency. It accelerates your progress and helps remove obstacles along the way. By learning common grammar patterns early on, you can significantly improve your comprehension.
