You’re right best way is just learn words and words, after try to chat and read the lanq.
I agree with you only somewhat, because when i was child, my mother never told me about any grammer, and i learned the urdu language without grammer. Now i think this language is not necassary for english language learning. If you will try to learn english with grammer then you will never speak English well.
Meh, I don’t agree with this at all. As a native English-speaker, I’ve been learning Turkish, and I’ve found that studying the grammar is absolutely indispensible – or, in the absence of a grammar book, I at least need heavy contact with native speakers. Everything is in reverse compared to English, and just learning words is totally insufficient for even basic comprehension of a lot of written and spoken material. I have experienced this first-hand, after learning a set of words and then seeing or hearing them, but modified in a variety of ways depending on grammatical context. Everything is so alien that it would take years to naturally absorb everything without studying the structure of the language.
This approach might be feasible with a closely related language like Spanish or French (again, speaking from the standpoint of an English speaker). However, it still doesn’t guarantee any sort of fluency, since a big part of becoming comfortable with a language is immersing yourself in situations that involve speaking and listening. Staring at a gargantuan list of words isn’t going to give you those practical skills. Besides, even if it does help you speak, you’re bound to miss a lot of linguistic subtleties. For example, you might not realize that the German verb “fahren” is stem changing only in the Ich and Du forms of present tense. Or, if you did, you might not realize that the same principle applies to a lot of other verbs… unless, of course, you’ve thoroughly internalized a LOT of words. But I daresay that to do so would require the memorizatio of a lot more than 3000 flashcards.

It is said that with 1500 basic words in your pocket, you’ll be understanding 95 percent of all talk.
so it’s safe to say that 3000 words should be plenty.
3000 words will get you to an understand of most things said, not 95 percent of the words that you hear, but rather you can understand what is said in almost all situations that are not technical or complex.
