It's also an important point, what constitutes "learning grammar". I've read the grammatical rules of Welsh, but I can remember only a couple, maybe. And that's happened to me with German at least once, when I read a grammar book, even did most of exercises in it, but a little while later was floundering in basic constructions.
So what do you mean by "learning grammar"?
Anyway, what I'm trying out for myself, is taking a Welsh text and trying to deconstruct it on paper, looking up grammar rules as they come up. I mean things like "eb." and "eg." above nouns (abrreviations for feminine and masculine) - also trying to keep English out of it as much as possible.
