verb
To gain knowledge or skill in something through study, experience, observation or being taught.
People learn in many ways: by reading, by practicing, by watching someone else, or simply by making mistakes and remembering the result. In some regional dialects learn is used to mean teach, as in that will learn you a lesson, but standard English keeps the two words separate.
