It's not so much that there's a one size fits all learning method, but rather that there are certain constants in language learning. Namely one must actually hear and speak the language.
Learning the grammar and syntax of the target language entirely in ones native language may provide some value for some people, but in and of itself doesn't teach anyone a language and is entirely optional. In general formal study of grammar is an advanced topic.
