'lesson' is the definition.
The answer and definition can be both related to communication as well as being singular nouns.
Perhaps you can see an association between them that I can't see?

'tail wagging for new' is the wordplay.
'wagging' is an anagram indicator (letters swing or wag around).
'for' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other).
'new' becomes 'n' (abbreviation as in New Testament NT).
'tail' anagrammed gives 'lati'.
'lati'+'n'='LATIN'

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for latin that I've seen before include "Learning it 'an honour' (Churchill)" , "a quarter of Parisians" , "Classical language" , "A Romance language" , "Old Roman language" .)

I've seen this clue in The Mirror.
