"Things we learned". When you say "learnt", it's when used as an adjective (a describing word).

For instance "My knowledge of grammar is learnt". When you're using it as a verb (a doing word), it's "learned" i.e. "Today, I learned something".

Today you learned about "learned", hopefully that's your lesson "learnt".

This is especially important because we also have the adjective "learned" e.g. "the scholar was widely regarded as a wise and learned individual".

Interesting - do you have a source for that?

According to the sources I can find "learnt" is the English and "learned" the American version http://www.grammar-monster.com/easily_confused/learned_learn...
