There is a special problem of past-time reference in English:
begynn å lære
The question of how to choose between the use of the past tense and the use the perfect aspect.
The Past Tense is used when the past happening is related to a definite time in the past, which we may call "THEN".
begynn å lære
In contrast, the PERFECT ASPECT is used for a past happening which is seen in relation to a later event or time.
Have you eaten (yet)? I've studied your report (already).
begynn å lære
The present perfect often refers to the recent indefinite past.
Some adverbials go with the past
begynn å lære
and others with the present perfect
THE PAST (point or period of time [which finished] in the past)
begynn å lære
I saw him yesterday (evening), last night, last Monday, a week ago, a month ago, in the morning, on Wednesday, in June, in 1974, at four o'clock, the other day.
THE PRESENT PERFECT (period leading up to present, or recent past time)
begynn å lære

EITHER THE PAST
begynn å lære
I saw him today, this week, month, year, recently. He always/never forgot my wife's birthday.
