Vocabulary
I always see people protesting about grammar when the subject is "learn a new language". Ok, I don't disagree with them, but I think that grammar isn't biggest problem, vocabulary is. For example: I'm learning Japanese too and it's not as hard as Portuguese — yes, if you're learning the language from Japan as well you've already heard about "particle" (like "wo", "ga" and etc), but Camões' language has exception a lot and many verbs conjugations. Which is diference between other one? I know Portuguese words — and I know Japanese grammar, but I can't speak this language because I don't know a lot of words. This is it.

I totally agree, my biggest problem in Chinese is lack of vocabulary. I actually think you need to know very rare words to be called fluent, because you tend to need these too. :)

Actually is true... I've noticed this when I try to tell a story in English using the common words (here is when the vocab enters) that I usually use in Spanish, and most of the time I have to look them up in order to write my story or tell my story the way I want to.

I agree honestly. Even if you mess up on the grammar, a native speaker will still understand, albeit a bit confused. If you do not know the word at all, you are out of luck.
