Cool, that adds another dimension ... one can really use "apprendre" for
to teach?! I didn't know that. In French class, we only learned that
"apprendre" means "to learn" and "enseigner" to teach. Nevertheless, "to
unlearn" does not mean "to teach", but rather "to get dumb" or more
positively "to forget". Vice versa.
