изучать - meaning
I have a doubt. I am studing russian with a beggniner book. It came with translation into English and Spanish. The translation in the English version the verb "изучать" means "to learn" and the Spanish version means "to study".
The verb "изучать" in russian can mean both "to sudy" and "to learn"? Or they are different verbs?
If they were different what verb is used for the meaning "to leran" and what is used for "to study"?

учить - to learn, изучать - to study thoroughly. It is possible to say Я учу русский язык and Я изучаю русский язык. Both sentences are correct.

It means "to study."
Он изучает Химию в Университете Штата Индиана.
He studies chemistry at the Indiana State University.
No idea whether they actually study chemistry there. :)

I think the verb "изучать" means rather "to study" than "to learn". I think it's more correct to translate "to learn" as "учить". But in the case of the sentence "He is currently studying at Moscow State University", the verb "studying" should be translated as "учится", like this, "В настоящее время он учится в Московском Государственном Университете".
Puzzling over the following two sentences: "Я учу русский" and "Я изучаю русский", the first one would make me thinking that you do it on your own, whereas the second one sounds as if you study the Russian language at school or attend a language course.
