Learning a Foreign Language and Grammar
Grammar is similar between languages. It is because it is describing abstract, set-theoretic like, relationships, associations between classes of words and not only between the words themselves. It is this universality of abstract mapping, set-theoretic like associations, relations between classes of words, that needs to be learned so that these abstract constructs can be "filled" later with concrete words. Grammar uses often exotic names for its concepts e.g. Adjective, Noun, Pronoun, Accusative voice, Antecedent, Adverbial Clause, Apposition, Conjunctive adverb, Gerund, Inflection, Participle, Transitive verb.

You can create your own grammar by specifying markers, references and postulate, form their
