Eat / Feed / Teach / Learn

Update 1: I went over all the verbs with a native speaker and made corrections. Added audio recordings for some verbs.

NOTE: I make recordings with Obsidian notes - some of the recordings cut out in the middle.

I will later make a post with cloze lists to test yourself.
