"learning" as a noun descends from Old English so has always been current in the language in the intended sense.[1]

"lesson" came from Old French in the 13th century and has changed its original meaning over time.[2]

There's not one single dialect of English so your comment comes off as unnecessarily prescriptivist and has spawned significant off-topic commentary (including this very comment) in response to an otherwise perfectly worded composition.
