Hi Brizelgs, 

The verb "배웠습니다" means "studied" or "learned".  It is the polite Past form of "배우다".

Here's the sentence broken down for you: 

저는 = I
한국 = Korea
이화대 = Ihwa University

Here's another example of "배웠다" in action:

The sad thing is that is a problem through out the program,  it does not teach vocabulary, it teaches sentences and long phrases.  NOt good for beginners.
