Growing up in Northern Ireland " learned me" was also a commonly used phrase, but not one that was encouraged at home by parents who were not native of NI!

And in many dialects of English, ‘learn’ is used for both, as in ‘She learned me how to ride a bike’. This was common in the West Country where I grew up – any other regional dialects that use ‘learn’ instead of ‘teach’?

Yes, Danny. In Afrikaans the same word “[om te] leer” is used for “to teach” and “to learn”.

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
