"Ulijifunza kusoma"

[ztabb]

learned = learnt. therefore, "you learned to read" should be acceptable. Please account for this style of (american?) english

Right, but file in a Report so staff will see it.

[margamanterola]

It has now changed to not accepting learnt

[AGreatUserName]

I think "learnt", "spelt", "smelt", "earnt", "burnt", "dreamt" etc. are less common in America generally and more common in Commonwealth countries, judging by the number of Americans online who "correct" things that I write with things like "It's spelled 'learned'." Like, sorry mate, where I'm from, it's also spelt learnt.

You taught yourself to read?

[AGreatUserName]

That would be ulijifundisha ... and probably with mwenyewe in the sentence to make it clear.

[DavidScott493272]

the exercise should accept both learned and learnt

[Ghalib962002]

Learnt...
