     Note: Learn formerly had also the sense of teach, in
           accordance with the analogy of the French and other
           languages, and hence we find it with this sense in
           Shakespeare, Spenser, and other old writers. This usage
           has now passed away. To learn is to receive
           instruction, and to teach is to give instruction. He
           who is taught learns, not he who teaches.
           [1913 Webster]
