We do not have a word that distinguishes teaching from learning in Welsh
either. Dysgu (the root is latin). Thus when I teach something I learn it
too.
Dw'in dysgu addysg... means simultaneously I teach education and I learn
education. If I really needed to discriminate to translate into English I
would have to pick it up from context.
In French you may care to think of the nuances between former, eduquer and
enseigner.
