Scriptor iuvenis dicit se artem picturae ab avia didicisse, sed usu etiam nunc meliorem fieri.

The young writer says that he learned the art of painting from his grandmother, but that even now he becomes better through practice.

Magistra monet usum saepe plus valere quam timorem, si quis artem aliquam discere velit.

The teacher warns that practice is often worth more than fear, if someone wants to learn some skill.

Avus dicit talem usum etiam scriptori utilem esse, quia omnia quae videt postea describere potest.

Grandfather says that such practice is useful even to a writer, because he can later describe everything that he sees.

Adsit semper usus cum arte, et fiet ut etiam discipula timidior cito melius scribat.
