Part of me just thinks I'll gradually get better (or less bad?) if I just read a lot, whether it's fiction or a grammar book

After reading about grammar in Japanese, it becomes easier to discuss grammar in Japanese, etc.

People who read poorly written books about grammar themselves become better at describing language in the same inferior manner the book uses...
