Why it scores 77 difficulty
Duolingo: Language Lessons holds the top spot with 5,492,844 ratings behind it. 4 apps in the ten carry over 100,000 ratings; the rest are smaller, so the page is not uniformly defended. The top three hold 92% of all the ratings on the page, so everything below them is small by comparison. 9 of the ten put the phrase in their app name. On this term the name does the work, and a listing that leaves it out is not really competing for it.

How to rank for “language learning”: 1 lead with it, 8 put it later

At 17 characters, the phrase leaves 13 of Apple's 30 for your brand. The shortest name in the top ten that uses it — “Speak: Language Learning”, 24 characters — puts the brand first and the keyword after it.

Apple builds phrases out of single words, so the 2 words here (“language”, “learning”) can sit in different fields and still match the whole term. Each counts once across the name, subtitle and keyword field, so repeating a word you already have buys nothing and takes space another keyword could use.

Only “Language Learning: Pingo AI” opens its name with the phrase; the other 8 that spell it out put it later in the name, where it counts for less.

Whether it is worth the slot depends on what else you could use it for. “language learning flashcards” scores 30 on opportunity against this term's 14, at difficulty 38 rather than 77. 22 of the 24 related terms score higher; the other 2 score lower.

Choosing keywords you can rank for explains how the three numbers are worked out, and App Store metadata, field by field covers how to split a phrase this long across the three fields.
