Can I say to my students 'Keep learning this phrase until it sticks'? Will it sound appropriate in an English classroom?
 
That part is OK but I wouldn't use "Keep learning this phrase". Say something like "Keep repeating/using/practising this phrase".
 
until it sinks in?
 
Perhaps:

Keep working on it until you've got it.
