Lesson 1－Part 4
“It is not good to learn /
only from words. /
Language is a tool. /
It is like a hammer /
when you build a house.” //
He also said, /
“You can learn better through experience.” //
When you need to know a language, /
you can learn a lot from books. //
However, /
it is not enough. //
He believed /
you also need experiences. //
A lot of samurai studied English hard. //
They read English books. //
They learned a lot from them, /
but they learned the real meaning of things /
through their experiences. //
With this knowledge, /
they led Japan into the next era. //
After more than a hundred years, /
we are still studying English. //
How are you studying it? //
We can learn a lot /
from the samurai way of learning English. //
