Both could make sense depending on the context.
If you are still learning English (which I assume you are), #2 wouod be correct.
If you have finished learning English, #1 would be correct, but with a minor correction: "I learned English for 5 years."
For you right now, #2 is correct. Hope this helped (◠‿◕)

Thanks! So don't you usually use 1 ? Should I not use 1 in any case? Would you give any examples with contexts if you use 1 ?
