My father taught me...

My father told me, if you wanna learn something, like music, history about another country, you must know that of your own country's first.
nowadays, a lot of people like make a thorough study of another country's culture. and they don't even know the culture about their own country, my father thinks that's very shame. he also thinks if you don't understand the things about your selves, you have no right to learn the others'.
if you still belong to the country where you born , i think you should learn the stuff of your own country's. then, you can learn whatever you want about foreign country.


It's a kind of patriotic.

Knowing my country and myself is really important, but sometimes understanding myself is difficult^^

I don't know how people could live in another country without having the knowledge about their own country..

Learning English today is in order to let everyone else do not need to learn English in the future.

Your father is wise. Knowing your own culture is important and learning other cultures is beneficial.
