  • 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?

  • 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. Oct 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.
