I agree. Sometimes, I deliberately set myself the task to be able to explain something when attending a lecture - I make different notes and I believe I understand things better. (pkrumins is probably on the right path.)

Interesting enough, I believe just knowing how to teach makes learning easier. I've learned some (Romance) languages and taught my own mother tongue in tandems. Although there are significant differences, I feel that I could learn better with my experiences from teaching.
