How to use 学会
As a verb, 学会 means to learn something successfully, and it often takes a skill as its object. As a noun, it names a professional or scholarly association. Example: 我学会了游泳。(Wǒ xuéhuì le yóuyǒng.) I have learned to swim.
学会 combines 学 (xué, to study) and 会 (huì, to be able to). You study until you can do it, so you have learned it. A group of people who meet (会) to study (学) together is a learned society.
Common mistake: Learners often use 学会 when they mean the process of studying. 学习 (xuéxí) is the ongoing effort, while 学会 means you have actually mastered it, so say 我在学习中文, not 我在学会中文.
