I don't know grammar (is it really important?)
Many people say that english are easy to learn (compared to other languages), but is it real? When it comes to the order of adjective is not so simple, same when other strange rules pop up.
What is better then, know a deep knowledge of grammar, but being unable to communicate or have a fait grammar and be more talkative? In my last course I knew many people that were really good in grammar , but when it came to speak (about anything) .... :|
So, what do you think? For a non-native speaker, is it better to be a nerd or be more natural?

I learnt Italian a little, and I know, your grammar is not easy too. Just try imagine, I speak Italian without grammar, what will you think about me? Here, on italki, I often read people, who studied Russian. And I understand, why I have to learn German grammar. And to improve English, of course, my English is not perfekt, but now German is more interest for me. With pairs Russian-German or Russian-English it's very obvious because Russian grammar is totally different from English or German. It's really terrible if someone writes in Russian as in English, or writes in English as in Russian. As I remember, Italian is more similar to English, but not in all.

Both. Speak as much as possible and don't worry about making mistakes, but always try to improve. I've known people who could communicate effectively, but never really tried to improve their speech and grammar, so their English never got any better.
