He soon found that a sailor's life is indeed a hard life.
His mother's words were true.
He was very busy on board of our ship, even in the fairest weather.
On the very first night, he had never seen badly wind, wave, and storm.
It was so scary for him.
Then he remembered his pleasant home and the words of his kind mother.
He said to himself "If I live to reach dry land, I will give up this thought of being a sailor."
Day came, the weather was calmly.
The next morning, he found the first mate over the wide water.
He said, "Well, Bob, how do you like it? Were you frightened by that little gale?"
They laughed and said "Wait till we have a real storm."
He was little by little, his first voyage was not a long.
He visited no new lands, only to London. But he saw great city which is very wonderful.
Nothing would satisfy but make a long voyage so he wished to see the whole world.

"narau yori narero"

One very important way to get used English is to find "input" that one is interested in and can enjoy.

if there are too many words that you have to learn all at once, it is difficult to get used to English.

you probably don't need to stop and look up the word unless you are very curious about its meaning.

The best way to get used to English words is to remember how they were used in materials you read or listened to.

To get to know a word well, you need to "meet" it in many different situations.

If, on the other had, you learn a simple sentence, you have learned something important about how to use the word.
memorizing Japanese equivalents does not work is that there are very few cases.
