It seems as if one is more active versus passive.  Somewhat and sometimes.

Learned is a Redneck word.  "They done learned me how to go snipe huntin'"

Taught is also a Redneck word.  The fishin' line suddenly became very taught, when the monster bass clamped on to Billy's fishin' line.  Then it was a battle roy-ale between Billy and the Monster Bass that had been terrorizin them fishermen up in that thar lake by singing Garth Brooks songs."

Being learned means you have already learned.

Being taught means you are learning something.

Learned suggests that one was able to utilize knowledge obtained via experience. In other words, you don't know it until you get an opportunity to use it and see if it works.

Teaching may or may not be received or fully absorbed and may not be practically applicable.

Did you know that the commonly accepted statement that we use only 10% of our brain is not true? Technically we use all of our brain in one way or another.

What are you going to do with that?
Rhetorical not rhetorical. 💪🧠👀💋

Semantics.....

But to me - without looking anything up - being learned connotates having been able to not only absorb data but being able to think and act accordingly while being taught has a memorization without too much evaluation of data - regurgitated facts data/feel to it.

Wanda,

For me being learned means you know how to apply what you learned and being able to easily communicate it...unlike being taught which means you are in the process of learning.  A

My first thought was that it depends on what part of the country you are in! It sounds like rural dialect spoken in parts of the country if you use it as "I am being learned". Otherwise, I agree with Nina.

(being) learned - you know it, you utilize it.

(being) taught - you're still learning; not yet learned!

Learned could imply self taught.  I taught my spouse to look up things as we do not know everything. 

My sibling come up with speculation which often is incorrect. She was a reference librarian never learned Boolean operator or look up for answers. She is the most learned person.

it's reasonable to say that being taught is having had someone instruct you....

if an individual has learned, they've experienced a situation rather than being instructed...

Being taught is passive receiving information. Learning is active and requires effort. Learning works, being taught does not.

The term learned is not something used very much anymore. I have always used it to apply to a man of letters. Also not used much.
