Let’s start with the verb ’Учить’. And here’s the catch: it means both ‘to Learn’ AND ‘to Teach’! 🤯
So, how do you know its meaning in a particular phrase?
You'll know it from the context!

Учить + someTHING (like a school or college subject) = to learn (Я учУ рУсский язЫк)
Учить + someONE (a living being) = to teach

You'll learn more examples from the video!
❗️I had hard times finding an appropriate / better English word for an "animate object" (a living being), and in the video, I'm calling it "an object"; please, read it as "a living being".

⬇️
Я учУсь игрАть на гитАре = I'm learning to play the guitar
Я учУ игрАть на гитАре = I'm teaching to play the guitar

The verb ‘Изучать’ also means studying something, but at a deeper level, professionally, exploring a subject:

Изучать + smth = to study smth at a deep level, professionally (Я изучАю кибернЕтику)

'Учиться' and 'Заниматься' are both reflexive verbs. You might think that you'll have troubles conjugating them, but rest assured, the things are easier than they seem. The main difference between these two verbs can be described as following:

'Учиться' = to acquire new skills
'Заниматься' = to practice the existing skills

Учиться + infinitive = to learn how to do smth (Я учУсь игрАть на гитАре)
Учиться = to study (Я учУсь в университЕте)

ЗанимАться = to be doing smth / to practice some skill (Я занимАюсь рУсским)
