This is, alas, a common problem with instructional grammars no matter what the language. I think any student would benefit from an initial big-picture overview of the basic structure of any language being learned. As a rule this is not hard to get across even in non-technical language, but for some reason most authors insist on making a minute examination of a long series of trees and their subtle variations before saying, almost reluctantly, "Look, there behind us, that's a forest."
