Check the meaning please

Hi everybody,

'Learn to teach'

I think the above sentence has two meanings,

meaning 1: learn and then teach others.

meaning 2: learn the method of teaching.

Am I correct?

Thank you

Dear G I agree.. - I am learning to teach = - I am learning the methods of teaching - the ways in which teaching is done - I am learning many things now so that, at a later time, I can teach those things to other people The sentence has both meanings: I'm certain you have that right Regards, Dave

Correct. But if you are trying to emphasize the first meaning with its infinitive of purpose, write Learn in order to teach. To emphasize the second meaning, write Learn how to teach.
