learn of something
Should you say 'learn of something'? How would you write it?
How do you learn of all these shows? I don't know half the shoes you tell me about.
Thank you

"How do you learn of... ?" is certainly not wrong, but it might not be most people's most natural choice in ordinary conversation. I might say "Where do you hear about all these shows?" or "How do you get to know about all these shows?", for instance.
