With or without about?
It is important to learn (about) other people’s ideas.
Is it better to say learn about or learn in the sentence above? Does the choice make a big difference or have different connotations?
Top answer
We don't really learn other people's ideas. It's the wrong verb. We might, for example, hear, take in, acquaint ourselves with, receive or welcome them.
