The verb 'learned' is incorrectly used after 'helped me to'. After 'helped me to', the base form of the verb should be used, so 'learn' is correct instead of 'learned'. This is a common error in past tense constructions where the infinitive form is required.
× Yes, I have learned that geography when I was a school student, it was a part of my school curriculum.
✓ Yes, I learned that geography when I was a school student; it was a part of my school curriculum.
The present perfect tense 'have learned' is incorrectly used with a specific past time 'when I was a school student'. The simple past tense 'learned' is appropriate here because the action happened at a definite time in the past.
× So I think it will be a really fascinating.
✓ So I think it will be really fascinating.
The adjective 'fascinating' is incorrectly preceded by the article 'a'. Since 'fascinating' is an adjective describing the implied subject, the article 'a' should be removed to correct the sentence structure.
