1. I'm going to Seattle to learn English.

I am going to Seattle. I will learn English in Seattle. This is the reason why I am going.

2. I'm going to Seattle for learning English.

I am going to Seattle. I learnt English before going. I am going because I learnt English (a reward, maybe passing a test).
