  Comments:
Sentences with 教わる don't necessarily have an actor. I think "from" and "by" should be left out of the glosses.

  Comments:
"osowaru" is not intransitive, it is infact transitive. 

For example:

"Watashi wa nihongo wo osowarimashita" means "I was taught Japanese" and "nihongo" is the direct object of "osowaru". It has a passive meaning, but that doesn't necessarily make it 
intransitive.
