teaching others
Passing on understanding
Teaching others is the act of passing on knowledge, skills, or understanding to someone else.
The phrase emphasizes the interpersonal dimension—not just knowing something, but being able to convey it effectively: Teaching others forces you to really understand the material yourself.
Often appears in discussions of learning methods, since explaining concepts to others reinforces one's own grasp of them.
