How to Remember TEACH vs. LEARN A lot of my students have trouble remember when to use the words "teach" and "learn." For native speakers, of course, the difference is obvious, but it is not so clear cut for non-native English speakers. I have come up with a fun and simple way to remember the difference, which I hope will be useful to you in your studies. Here goes! Teach -- the first letter is T -- like TALK Learn -- the first letter is L -- like LISTEN So, you can remember the difference, because teachers TALK and students LISTEN. Hope it helps :) Let me know if you have any other suggestions!
