The phrase "ago I learned" is not correct in English and does not convey a clear meaning.
It is typically used incorrectly because "ago" should follow a specific time reference, such as "two days ago," rather than being placed before the verb "learned."
Example: "I learned about the new policy two days ago."
Alternatives: "I learned previously" or "I learned earlier."
