Usage Notes

学会 is a resultative verb compound: 学 (to study/learn) plus the resultative complement 会 (can/able to). The 会 indicates successful acquisition of the skill. This is different from 学 alone, which just means the act of studying. Compare: 我在学游泳 (I am learning to swim) vs 我学会游泳了 (I have learned how to swim / I can swim now).

Memory Hook

学 means "to study" and 会 means "to be able to" -- 学会 is to study until you are able, meaning to successfully learn something.
