Is it a common belgian thing to use learn instead of teach?

Welcome to the forum, mate! Hope you enjoy it as much as @Stingray does.

Welcome to the forum, mate! Hope you enjoy it as much as @Stingray does.

'Leren' in Dutch can be used for both to learn and to teach, so yea I'm sure the mistake has been made before

Yeah, let's say I've seen that happening many, many times

it's also something I've seen both American and British say all the time. Maybe it's their equivalent of in portuguese using emprestar both to emprestar e pegar emprestado. It's wrong (as far as I know), but still used broadly.

welcome, dear, I hope you have a great time here

I don't think I have ever seen native speakers confusing both, weird.

She 'learned' me one or other thing (this expression does exist in english, doesn't it?)

"Learned" was used in the common dialect in the US in the 18-19th century. I've read it in a lot of books from that era. I reckon it is still sometimes used in some southern states.
