1. INCORRECT: "English is an useful language to learn" and "English is an usedul language to be learned."
"Useful is pronounced /yoos ful/ as if it begins with a consonant. Therefore, the correct article to use is "a" not "an".
2. Active voice - English is a useful language to learn.
Passive voice - English is a useful language to be learned.
Both sentences are CORRECT.

The simple answer is that you only need the first one, if you want to make a general statement. It is always useful for anyone to learn English.
The second one would make sense in a more specific context
e.g. English is a useful language, to be learned at school (by students).
Note the necessary addition of a comma in my example. "...to be learned at school (by students)" is an adverbial here.
