History and geography was rote learning for me
As many learners see, I took history and geography as school subjects as rote learning.
I was good at learning the number of year when a certain event happened. Perhaps I was good at learning the name of events and people mainly involved in them.
As for geography I'm not good at learning names of mountains and rivers and, what crop a certain area mainly produces. I was kind of good at learning climates.
The problem was all what I did to get a grade or make in entrance exams was just rote learning. I didn't really understand what a historical event was about or what a certain area of the world is like.
I began to try to understand after I traveled around my place by bike and on foot.
I was directly affected by terrains. I have hard time with get over hills and mountains, and sometimes I was scared when I have to cross a big river on a bridge. I had to stand strong wind and noise on the narrow sidewalk or the edge of the lane, while automobiles, especially huge trucks were running on relatively wide lane.
When I have a brief stop at a park, I often see descriptions of the area I was in and I know around there was also a historical site.
In these ways, I felt geographic and historical features by my body while traveling even though I didn't travel so far.
