Learn or remeber

[tufguy]

If somebody asks that whether I can learn(should it be learn or remember?) this number: 16543789230887665, so can I say "I can't even learn my phone numer or a poem and you are asking me to learn this number"?

Take a look at the words in bold. Fix them. Then we'll answer.

Okay I have done it please answer. I think the word is memorise not learn right?

Okay I have done it. Please answer. I think the word is 'memorise', not 'learn', right?

Right.

Please note how to use proper punctuation.

It is "memorize" in AmE.

I can't even remember my phone number and you're expecting me to memorise that long number? Fat chance!

 

[Matthew Wai]

Are 'learn' and 'remember' used correctly in 'I learned of his phone number before but can't remember it now'?

 

[emsr2d2]

"learned of" is unnatural in that context. It means "discovered" or "to found out".

I used to know his phone number but I can't remember it now.
