Hi All
I wonder if the colloquial “that’ll learn you” counts!
It’s Friday – forgive me.

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
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
