why G? this verb takes Acc and there is no noun on which G may depend.

My read: You weren't learning [it] off me. [from me]

The actual object of the verb is what's being learned, but the genitive shows the origin. It works like ἀκούω. At least that's how it strikes me.
“One might get one’s Greek from the very lips of Homer and Plato." "In which case they would certainly plough you for the Little-go. The German scholars have improved Greek so much.”
