learn to learn
today's new thing was an easy one. a quick visit to dictionary.com to learn the definition of the word 'learn'.
***
learn (lûrn)
v. learned, also learnt (lûrnt) learn·ing, learns
v. tr.
i thought that seeing as my plan is to log any new things that i learn then i should really get a definition of the word learn. i wasn't aware previously that learning can mean to become aware. i am aware of it now and therefore i have learnt it. wow, so far the phrase is true, i have learnt something new every day (at least yesterday and today anyway!). lets see how the rest of the week goes!
