0I don't think so. The present perfect seems uncalled for. It seems to mean that learning German is among the things you have accomplished with the TV, or that you recently completed the task of learning German from the TV. I think you mean that the way you learned German was by watching TV, and that only needs the simple past, "I learned German from the TV."
