Hello
In my language we have a saying that literally translates to "learn from cradle to tomb".
Can the English expression "from womb to tomb" be used as an equivalent?
You should learn from womb to tomb.
I thought that people don't have the ability to learn in a womb. But they also don't have this ability in a cradle maybe.
If that does not work, what other expression can be used?
