it's curious, of course, that we might lend so much validity to
non-english languages,
and theire meanings,
when english remains the most elusive language, re translation, a language
of infinite excpetions - and what does "learning" or "teaching" mean to
english speakers, when prodded?
much more, really, - it's aprivielge perhaps of the "exotic" that lends
validity to a practice?
english "learning" is no doubt easiyl coneptualised as soviet "leanring"
ort Argentian "learning" or Camaroonian "learning" - what 's being
privileged here
is a romance, perhaps? with russian history? perhaps?
diane, perhaps?
