Copyism the most important

June 17th, 2006

I've introduced a Japanese proverb before, which is "習うより、慣れろ".
Let me introduce another Japanese proverb to you, which is made by myself right now. :)

"習うより、慣れろ" is very important for your study. But I don't know how to get used to what you want to study. So I've just come up with a phrase.
It's "慣れるには、真似ろ!(なれるには まねろ! nareruniwa manero)". If I translate it literally, it means "Copy, in order to get used to it."

I think this phrase is exactly correct in the case of studying foreign tongue.
