This document discusses an important rule for ESL students that studying grammar alone will not make you fluent in English and can actually hinder fluency, as it will cause you to think about rules rather than creating sentences naturally like a native speaker. The document recommends that if the goal is fluency, students should learn English without explicitly studying grammar.
