I am curious what the difference is between yчите and изучaете?

1(in addition to the first answer) Another meaning of "учить" (as opposed to "изучать"): to teach.– Alex_anderOct 3, 2015 at 7:21

So if, i am studying a language it is more appropriate to use the yчит verb? Is that correct? How would you formulate that you are studying or learning the russian languge?– AnaOct 3, 2015 at 13:35

If you use a system, whether under a supervision or on your own, you most likely study. If you are [gradually] acquiring the knowledge, you learn. One can study without learning. One can also learn without much effort, without studying.– Victor BazarovOct 19, 2015 at 12:22

@Ana 'учить' is more appropriate. One would use 'изучать' if one spent many years studying/researching the topic in depth.– VitalyOct 19, 2015 at 15:06
