Can you tell me where Augustine discusses learning (apart from the famous quote on learning language cited by Wittgenstein)?

I can't answer Chris's question, but I would recommend the chapter on Plotinus and Augustine in Robert Watson's The Great Psychologists: From Aristotle to Freud; the chapter on Aristotelian background, in D. B. Klein's A History of Scientific Psychology; the chapter on the Hellenistic Age in Daniel Robinson's An Intellectual History of Psychology. These should lead you to any relevant sources.
