Have learned
Hi,
If I say "I have learned to speak English", do I mean:
I have already acquired the ability to speak the language. or I have been learning how to speak English for some time?
Thanks for reply.

Mr. Wordy:
Thank you for reply. One more question, please. Is that natural to say:
How long have you learned English? Or it's better to say:
How long have you studied English?
To me, 'have learned' implys that the learning action is completed. It sounds awkward to put how long together with have learned.
