Grammatical phenomena are taught in isolation, e.g. present continuous. We learn all about it, all the exceptions, all the rules, and we try to practice it a lot. And we don't deal with anything else. As if the other grammar didn't even exist. We deal with it for a week or two, then we write a test and move on to the next square, e.g. the present simple. There is usually no revision or very little revision of the previously learned grammar. What happens after some time, unfortunately, is that let's say you have been learning the language for two years, but there is still so much white space on the paper – so much grammar that you have no idea about. 🤓 Polyglots see grammar more as a shortcut to understanding the language. They mix up the phenomena, and mixing up stuff is actually incredibly useful for your brain. You remember stuff long-term when you learn a little bit of this and that. That's why polyglots learn grammar much faster and in a much more effective way. And they also make a lot of revisions. They don't know everything about a small part of grammar as in the school system, but they know a little bit of everything even though there are still white spots.
