      inquiry, study, or investigation; to receive instruction

      learn dancing; to learn to skate; to learn the violin; to

            To make perfumes ?                    --Shak.
      [1913 Webster]

   Note: Learn formerly had also the sense of teach, in
         accordance with the analogy of the French and other
         languages, and hence we find it with this sense in
         Shakespeare, Spenser, and other old writers. This usage
         has now passed away. To learn is to receive
         instruction, and to teach is to give instruction. He
         who is taught learns, not he who teaches.
         [1913 Webster]
