It sounds like an "ain't" version of learned. I just read this from Grammarly:

"Learnt and learned are both used as the past participle and past tense of the verb to learn. Learned is the generally accepted spelling in the United States and Canada, while the rest of the English-speaking world seems to prefer learnt."

Apparently I'm an egocentric American.

Yeah, we were taught "learnt" in school (British English).
