Learn - teach

From Awe

In the Hull dialect, as in many English dialects, there distinction between these two words is less clear than in academic writing. In formal English, a teacher teaches. A student learns.

A non-academic schoolchild may complain to a teacher: “You never learnt me anything.” This is a statement that proves itself. A well-educated child would say, “You never taught me anything.”

(For a note on the past tense of 'to learn, see Learned - learnt, where you may note that the adjective meaning 'well-taught' or 'knowledgeable' is learned - pronounced with two syllables.)
