Subject: teaching and learning in the same word request from Danny Saunders
Dear SEDA colleagues
Do you know of any verbs where "to teach" and "to learn" are combined? In
Welsh we have "dysgu" and I always thought this was unique - only to find
that in the Maori language "ako "has the same function. There is also "uciti"
in Croatian (please see below) - can you suggest any more?!
All best wishes
Danny

Hi Mirijana
Thank you for this lovely email and I would very much like to send an extract
to other colleagues in educational development as I think we might start
collecting verbs which mean to teach and to learn in different languages!
Would you object if I therefore circulated the following please?
"I mentioned to a mature student ( I'm teaching her my mother tongue which is
Croatian,
her father came to N.Z. from Yugoslavia in 1913 to work in the gumfields up
North)
that you have found that the word to teach and to learn is the same in
Maori as it is in Welsh
and she told me that it's the same in Croatian as well! And she's right.
In Croatian you can "uciti" (the c has a little v over it and it's sounded
as a ch sound in English) something
or "uciti" someone something.
I suspect all the Slavic languages follow suit but I would need to check that
out.
With all best wishes
Danny
