أسمع وأنسي ، وأرى وأتذكر ، أفعل وأنا أفهم.

Ich höre und vergesse, ich sehe und ich erinnere mich, ich tue und ich verstehe.

ακούω και ξεχνώ, βλέπω και θυμάμαι, το κάνω και καταλαβαίνω.

mi aŭdas kaj mi forgesas, mi vidas kaj mi memoras, mi faras kaj komprenas.

Escucho y olvido, veo y recuerdo, hago y entiendo.

من می شنوم و فراموش می کنم، می بینم و به یاد می آورم، انجام می دهم و می فهمم.

kuulen ja unohdan, näen ja muistan, teen ja ymmärrän.

J'entends et j'oublie, je vois et je me souviens, je le sais et je le comprends.

मैं सुनता हूं और भूल जाता हूं, मैं देखता हूं और मुझे याद रहता है, मैं करता हूं और मैं समझता हूं।

Sento e dimentico, vedo e ricordo, lo faccio e capisco.

私は聞きます、そして私は忘れます、私は見ますそして私は覚えています、私はしますそして私は理解します

나는 듣는다. 그리고 잊는다, 나는 본다. 그리고 나는 기억한다, 나는한다. 그리고 나는 이해한다.

ik hoor en ik vergeet, ik zie en ik herinner, ik doe en ik begrijp het.

jeg hører og jeg glemmer, jeg ser og jeg husker, det gjør jeg og jeg forstår.

Eu ouço e eu esqueço, eu vejo e eu lembro, eu faço e eu entendo.

Tôi nghe và tôi quên, tôi thấy và tôi nhớ, tôi làm và tôi hiểu.

我听到,我忘了,我看到,我记得,我做,我明白。

我聽到,我忘了,我看到,我記得,我做,我明白。
