Hi

Could you please tell me if the use of learning is OK here?

Hi Tom

It means the handouts can be used by both teachers and learners.

Why do you find 'learning' irritating?

Thanks again, dear! :D

1-It is a very learning book.

How do you find this one? I have seen other adjectives like informative and all but never "learning". :shock: :shock:

No, that doesn't work. And you also can't say "It is a very teaching book."
But some think (James, for example 8)) that 'Amy is a teaching tyrant". ;)

.
Yes, they are handouts (used/usable) for teaching and learning. The original sentence a little more specific, though, due to the addition of ESL.
