German
I have this method of learning German. I try to hear when it sounds right, rather than learning why it's supposed to be 'ein', 'eine', 'einer', 'einen' or 'einem'. I guess because I don't really care, I only want to understand and make myself understood.
The problem is that I my hearing when it comes to German almost always seems to be wrong. I really suck at grammatics.
So it was a good thing today when I got homework to do, insert "in-between"-words into a sentence including "Hauptsatz" and "Nebensatz", that I was invited to dinner with a German. Tomorrow I will deliver a flawless report! Ha!

yep, that's my method too (go with what I think sounds right). Doesn't work for me either.
My other option is just mumble the ending so no one can tell its wrong. That doesn't get me very far with writing though.
Perhaps that's why I'm more fluent after a couple of glasses of wine?
