Why did the Hittites learned Hebrew?

There is no evidence that Hittites learned Hebrew.

If the question is referring to the conversation between Abraham and the Hittites in The Bible concerning the acquisition of the burial grounds at Machpelah, neither party was speaking in Hebrew. The likely language of conversation was Akkadian, which was the lingua franca at that time. Since the Bible was in Hebrew, the contents of that conversation were preserved in Hebrew. (This is similar to modern novels that take place in other countries, but all of the dialogue is written in English instead of Arabic, Russian, or Chinese.)

Is it true that the Egyptians learned how to steer horse-drawn chariots from the hittites?

Yes, it is generally believed that the Egyptians learned to effectively use horse-drawn chariots from the Hittites, who were among the first to develop this technology. The Hittites had advanced chariot designs and techniques that were likely adopted by the Egyptians during the 16th century BCE. This exchange of knowledge was facilitated by military conflicts and diplomatic interactions between the two civilizations. The incorporation of chariots significantly enhanced the Egyptian military capabilities.
