Is it better to say "I learned" or "I have learned English from a very young age"?
1 Answer
I would say:
I learned English as a child. which means that I finished my studies of language when I was a child
or
I have been learning English since I was a child. which means that I am still learning English, but I started when I was a child.

Thank you for your reply. I have learned a lot from your answer. Is it customary to use present perfect after the preposition "from"? Another example would be : "I have studied English along with French from a very young age." Since learning is an ongoing process (in my case, anyhow), isn't the past simple a bit too finite?
