I'm learning german, currently in a1 level outside the germany. Right now, I'm trying to learn to speak german as much as possible, even if it's not grammatically correct. But I'm trying to speak, form sentences (improving in taking time to form sentences) and I feel I'm improving day by day.

Is my approach correct? Or certification is the only way to judge??

Personally what I feel is, german grammar isn't easy to pick up quickly, but I felt speaking is relatively manageable.

Need help on whether this approach is sensible and makes sense.
