For the words that were missing in your translation
You won't find words like "learning" (a participe) in wordlists, only the infinitive, in this case "(to) learn";
I don't think there are any words for "learn" though, try words with similar meanings, like "experience", "study", "collecting knowledge" etc

"been" as a participe also doesn't really exist, again you'd have to translate the whole form - "have been learning" - which is simply a past form of "learn";
I don't know though how the past is formed in Isdira
