Right not I just started greetings, and how there are formal replies to greetings like; Und Ihnen? (And you?) And then the answer Und dir? (And you?) or Und euch? (And you?).
Then the greetings themselves:
Danke gut (Fine, thanks)
Sehr gut (Very good)
Ganz gut (Really good)
Es geht (So, so) also means "it goes"
Nicht so gut (not so good)
These are some of the greetings they give, not bad I guess, because English has a lot of greetings aswell, so this can't be too hard.

I'm not sure we have the same definition of a greeting... Anyway, I don't know how they enter into the picture of learning grammar, since... well, they're kind of just words. That fits more the area of vocabulary... I don't know if you got confused about that. I sure am.
Also, the question is more, not what grammar is, but what you mean by learning it. Like I said, I don't think simply reading about it will get you there... Unless you have way better memory then I.
