Contexte culturel
The concept of 'Guru-Shishya' (Teacher-Student) is deeply embedded. Learning is not just about books, but about character building. The term 'upskilling' is often translated using 'सीखना' in professional training programs. Learning household skills (like cooking) from elders is a common rite of passage.
Focus on the process
When using 'सीखना', always mention the skill you are learning in the infinitive form (ending in -ना).
Don't mix up teach and learn
Remember: 'Seekhna' is for you, 'Sikhana' is for others.
