"How to cook a language"

I have been thinking about languages and I think the process of learning a language is very similar to cooking.
Maybe this idea is a bit weird so I will try to explain it breifly. 

To cook you need food, cookware (a pot, frying pan, skimmer, spoon...) and spices.
When you are learning a language you need vocabulary and grammar.

In my opinion, words are the "food" of a language, with them you can make a "meal". If you know a large variety of words you can create more "dishes" than if you have only a few. But on the other hand, grammar, the cookware, is need to cook your dish, if you don't have pots, pans, etc, you can only make a basic raw meal. 

Finally are spices, although they are not necessary, they make meals more tasteful. Spices in the languages are particularities of each of them, like phrasal verbs, idioms...

In conclusion, If you wanna to be a good cook you need both: grammar and vocabulary, and to make it more tasty, you can use a pinch of pepper.

Bon appetit

Maybe this idea is a bit weird so I am trying to explain in this short text.

For cooking you need food, cookware - pot, frying pan, skimmer, spoon... - and spices.
When you are learning a language you need vocabulary and grammar.

In my opinion words are the "food" of any language because with them you can make meals. If you know a large variety of words you can create more "dishes" than if you have only a few. But on the other hand is grammar, the cookware, because if you don't have pots, pans, etc, you can only make rare meals.
And finally are spices although they are not necessary, they make meals more tasteful. Spices in languages are particularities of each of them, like phrasal verbs, idioms, etc.

In conclusion, if you want to be a good cook you need both: grammar and vocabulary. And sometimes you can use a pinch of pepper.
