how about just "things I learned." I agree with the other poster, "learnings" sets my teeth on edge.

Ok, thanks. Updated! Don't want to sound too academic. :-)

"learnings" is not "academic," it is ANTI-academic. it's jargon made up by insecure people trying to make themselves sound more important.

as a non-native-english speaker, I'm sure it's difficult to determine things like that. practice makes perfect!
