More than books

I like to learn about world history, especially about countries far away and unknown to me. On Italki, I have been able to talk in a partner language about your countries. What it is very interesting is that I reached two goals: to improve my English and to learn history. Maybe you can say: “don´t you read books to learn history?”, but I think that history is more than only books. It is the experience of how people lived and how your lives were affected. Sometimes we ask ourselves why these people are this way, or why your economy or culture is so different from us, but the situation can be explained by all the historical facts lived in the past. So learn your history and it will help you to understand your attitude and hopefully we will all become more tolerant.
