I was just reading some articles related to learning while sleeping and there's 2 sides to the report. Some claim it's possible to learn while sleeping while others claim you can't.

Have you ever learned anything while sleeping? I don't mind trying to learn a new language while sleeping since there's nothing to lose.

We learn by repitition. If you listen to the same
sleep-learning recording over and over while
sleeping, it is likely that at least some of the
info will be retained.

Yes it is possible. You would remember some of the material.

When I was younger, I went to french school even though my mother tongue was english, and I used to interact so often in french, that I started dreaming in french, and it became substantially more fluent after a few weeks.

To some extent, that might be considered learning.
