    '공부하다'= to study ... and '배우다' it means = to learn ...
    .they are different from their meaning ^^
    i hope my answer helping u ^^
    u r welcome ^^ㅠ.ㅠ

    I would say '배우다' has a braoder meaning compared to '공부하다.'
    '배우다' literally means to learn something whereas '공부하다' could mean putting more time and effort in the process of learning i.e. reading books, becoming a student in a certain area, etc.
    Usually, the word '공부하다' equals 'to study' in English.
    Hope this helps :)

    Like Zainab barznji said, '공부하다'= to study ... and '배우다' it means = to learn
    and I want to add more explanations here.
    '배우다' I learn something from a teacher.
    '공부하다' I study something by myself(not from a teacher) (from a book or a computer)
