    “Animal learn/teach” is never correct as subject + verb. It should either be “animals learn/teach” or “an/the animal learns/teaches”.

The exchange of "learn" and "teach" is often taken as a sign of a poor, rural education in the US. The subject of "learn" is the person/animal who is being given the knowledge/training, while the subject of "teach" is the person/thing supplying the knowledge/training.



Note that the object of "learn" is the topic being taught, while the object of "teach" can be either the topic or the entity that is (hopefully) learning.

  • Teach is optionally ditransitive: the direct object is the subject taught, and the indirect object is the person learning the subject. Both are optional, but they can also occur (“She taught English” / “She taught me” / “She taught me English”). Some would argue that the indirect object is promoted to a direct object if the direct object is not present (I wouldn’t necessarily agree); see this answer by tchrist for more.
