>>72180465I once asked a japanese teacher to teach me japanese. He said "Walk first the entire Nakasendo way. Only then, will I teach you". So I did the walk, it took a long time... several hours (if not several days) passed... After finishing it, I asked again.. "sensei, I am ready. teach me japanese."
He replied "okay. lesson one: japanese isn't something you ``learn'', it's something you feel."
I was instantly enlightened, and returned home to find a N0 certificate in my fax machine. I have refused to memorise a single kanji since.
