Quick question

I just came by this phrase. I am not sure whether there is something actually wrong with it, but it just doesn't sound right.

Is this propper English?

I have learnt extremely much.

Thanks in advance.

I haven't heard that. A natural (UK) phrase would be..

- I've learnt a great deal

.. or just ..

- I've learnt a lot
