I did French and Latin in grammar school. I always thought the main difficulty with Latin wasn't the grammar; it was getting through yet another really boring translation. Honestly, I don't think you can fully enjoy Latin if you aren't at least marginally interested in history.

I can't really remember if we ever had pure grammar lessons like we did in French or English, but we certainly learned a few grammar rules in German. I can remember that I had this list of important grammar rules and different types of subordinate clauses. Stuff like that.

I hope you don't take this the wrong way, but I've discovered that some non-native speakers of English often have a better grasp of English grammar than native speakers. I think it's because we consciously learn the language, including grammar rules, in a school setting. I'm a beta for several native speakers of English and you wouldn't believe how often I've heard: Huh? There is a rule for this?
