All of us speak Spanish without any problem and no one taught us grammar. The key is spend time with the language.

I totally agree with this, every time someone asks me about teaching them english or helping them with their homework they ALWAYS show me texts about grammar, past, future, verbs... gah, all that stuff sounds like Chinese to me, the best way to learn the language is to read real english, be it from books, webpages, videogames or even TV manuals, that's the way you start to learn how phrases are created and to form your own little internal dictionary. And then you progress up to the point you can read it (english) with almost no difficulty.

Of course school helped a bit, but frankly, wasting eleven years with grammar was not crucial at all.
