At noon, I pulled myself out of Reddit’s question and went to school. Now I have been learning Chinese for 5 hours. On my way home, I can eat my supper and watch a movie that I want to see on the weekend. So what supper should I eat today?

Corrections

Now I haSince then, I've been learning Chinese class for 5 hours.!

I assume you went to school for a class. But maybe you just went to study? then "Since then, I've been studying Chinese for 5 hours." is better.

On mythe way home, I can'll eat my supper and watch a preview of a movie that I want to see on thethis weekend.

Not sure if you want to watch a preview or want to watch entire movie twice?

So what supper should I eathave for supper today?

You'll need a big supper after 5 hours of study... or class!

Thank you very much.

At noon, I pulled myself out of Reddit’s question today, I logged off of Reddit and went to school.

It does not make much sense to say "pulled yourself out of" an app. Also, I cannot tell whether you were answering a question on Reddit or posting a question. Hope my correction is what you meant to say, as I am just guessing.

NowSince then, I have been learnstudying Chinese for 5 hours.

On my way home, I canould eat my supper and watch a movie that I wanted to see on thethis weekend.

So what supper should I eat today?

You don't have to say "what supper should I eat", as the supper is a constant. It is the type of food that changes. (Unless you are distinguishing between a casual supper from a formal dinner. )

Is learning wrong here?

It is not wrong, but there is a difference. Learning something is to gain knowledge, to become proficient at something, whereas, studying is to enhance that knowledge by memorizing, by listening, by writing, etc. In other words, studying is more concrete; it is something you do. It is the actions you take to learn something. If you are still unsure, I can give you more examples.
Learning - I have been learning french for the past 5 years.
Studying - I studied french this afternoon for 30 minutes.
