I thought Arbeit translates to work -- forgot what might be learning
though -- too long ago.

Then I thought perhaps I should look it up BEFORE posting this time,
to reduce embarrasment, so:

Arbeit (die)
n. employment, work, occupation, Job, task, duty, assignment

and

learn
v. lernen; erlernen; erfahren; merken; erkennen; aneignen

BUT - that's probably a close enough translation of idioms, so I'm still wrong!
