As for the verb to learn, both learned and learnt are correct. As for to mean, only meant is right.

Both learned and learnt are fine, though I find that the first is more common among Americans, and the second more common among Brits. It's "meant", not "meaned" though: I don't know anyone who writes it the second way (it also implies a pronunciation that no one seems to use).

Both forms of Learn are acceptable.
It depends if you view the verb as regular or irregular. Learn is one of the verbs that are not clearly defined in terms of regularity.
Mean, however, is an irregular verb, and the correct past form is "Meant"

Brits would usually spell it learnt and meant.
I believe Americans would spell it learned. I'm not sure how they would spell "meant".
