'Learning English' vs 'English learning'. Are both correct?
Example:
- Learning English is important.
- English learning is important.
I know that the first sentence is correct grammatically, but is it also correct to say 'English learning'?
Which one is better in spoken English?
Thank you in advance.

The first one sounds better.
The reason that the second one sounds awkward is because it is not common to describe the type of learning first. For example, you would not say, "Cooking learning is important." You would say, "Learning how to cook is important." Or, you could say, "It is important to learn how to cook."

They are both grammatically correct.
The first one is what you want to say when you are talking about learning the English language.
The second one can mean learning the English language is important, but it is a little awkward. It could also mean "Learning in English is important." For example: studying English in English is important as opposed to studying English in your native language.

Hello, Hamed.
Yes, both are correct.
The first one has the verb 'Learning' as the subject of the sentence.
The second one has a noun, the compound 'English Learning', as the subject.
When you interpret the phrases, they contain almost the same meaning, so I believe you can choose between the options.
I hope I was able to help.
See you next time :)
