Not when I was a kid. “Learnt” was a misspelling. So it really is not a word.

Tell it to the editors of the Oxford English Dictionary.

"learnt" is indeed a word. Quite British.

I was stationed in England for a year and a half, I learnt several different usages and spellings in written and spoken English.
