Learning a language must be done in a context because grammar rules only or lists of vocabulary are not sufficient to build sentences, paragraphs etc. If you already know the word or phrase, you want to use it in a wider context.
Conversations based on questions
are an excellent method to use in practice both your knowledge of phrases and grammar, and at the same time exchange opinions with another speaker, brainstorm ideas, etc.
