The short answer is yes. The grammar of any language is really a formula, or system. If there is no underlying structure or order to a language, the language wouldn't be much good to anyone. Some languages are very difficult to learn; English is really not one of the most difficult. If you want to learn a difficult language, try Icelandic.

On the other hand, although grammar is a 'formula', English is full of traps in the form of exceptions. I don't envy anyone who faces the task of learning English as a second language. I do, however, have the deepest respect and admiration for people who are.

If you were raised and learned english as a kid, you speak it fluently, but you see if you learned another language first, it is harder to understand. You can't ask why the english grammar is so complicated, but how. English words can be said differently than they are spelled.

Is learning grammar the best way to learn English?

It all depends on what you will be doing with your English. If you will never be speaking in English, grammar, vocabulary, idioms, and sentence structure are important. However, if you would like to speak English, it is easier to use a more balanced approach: practice speaking and back up your speaking with grammar study, reading, and vocabulary study. Since language is basically a spoken medium which is then rendered in writing, it will all make the most sense to you if you are able to listen and interact with a fluent speaker, then study on your own to bolster what you have learned.
