There are some languages (e.g. Russian and English) where you can power through and just memorize a ton of vocabulary and a few conjugation forms. I was just reading an article the other day about Korean, for a counter example though where there was a simple phrase "I eat rice" where the root words are "na (I) bap (rice) muk (eat)" except every word had at least another random trailing syllable: 나는 밥을 먹는다 (naneun bapeul mukneunda) It's like if in English you had to say "Iaroni eatatastic ricalicious."
