If not, how would you say "today I learned the word..."

Answer

today I learned the word...
오늘 나는 XX(이)라는 낱말을 배웠다.

if XX ends with vowel sound like '바다, 새우, 사과', use 라는
if XX ends with consonant sound like '약속,하늘,구름', use 이라는
e.g.
오늘 나는 약속이라는 낱말을 배웠다.
오늘 나는 사과라는 낱말을 배웠다.

Answer

Remember the sentence structure is different from English, so one always have to end the sentence with a verb or adjective.
