“Hello, everyone! Today, I learned a very important lesson about...”
Thomas

Learn with Thomas is a series of promotional videos of Thomas teaching the audience about life lessons. The series began on 12th April 2016 and ended on 14th June 2016, with one video uploaded on the official YouTube channel every week on Tuesday. The videos feature John Hasler and Joseph May as the voice of Thomas in both the UK and US dubs, respectively. They later aired as part of the US PBS Airings on 18th October 2016. These lessons later evolved into a feature of the Big World! Big Adventures! series, where Thomas connects the events of each episode with those of previous episodes.
