Narau yori narero
Learn by doing.
Japanese proverb
Practical familiarity grows through using what you have learned. This proverb encourages hands-on experience: after studying a useful expression, try it in a conversation. A little real use can show you what to practise next.
Language note: 習う (ならう / narau) means to learn; 慣れる (なれる / nareru) means to get used to something. 慣れろ (narero) is its direct command form. 習うより慣れよ is another version.
