to learn to do something is either 「～できるようになる」or 「～することを学ぶ」
so in this case,
「ほかのJP１０１スタッフはピーターさんのおやじギャグに馬耳東風でいることを学んだ。」
“You cant let it bug you, you need to learn how to ignore it.”? は
「そんなの気にしないで、無視（むし）できるようにならなくてはいけないよ。」ですね。

I told her it was pretty much the same as 右の耳から左の耳に抜ける. Was that correct? Since then, though, I've seen 馬耳東風 in a news article; it's funny the way they jump out at you as a unit, rather than one character at a time. Anki is great :cool: I said my friend didn’t know 馬耳東風 before, right? I told her it was pretty much the same as 右の耳から左の耳に抜ける. Was that correct?
