word choice - Whats "thank you for learning me X" mean vs "thank you for teaching me X"?


I saw a statement from a friend of mine who said thanks to X for learning me Y. I said, it might be wrong and you should have said thanks to X for teaching me Y.


I think, learning me means telling me about something and then I myself go on and learn about that thing, and teaching me is like teaching me about that thing.


Is my assumption correct? If not, what do they mean?
