I don't know that he really fully learned his lesson. He definitely learned to not go against God - that didn't turn out too well for him. But, as the Veggietales movie would say: "The question is not what did Jonah learn? The question is - what did you learn?" And the lessons we can take from his story are that we should always be merciful and compassionate.

Jonah, even after being in the belly of the whale, didn't understand that he should be compassionate towards the people of Nineveh. At the end of the book of Jonah, he is sitting there, waiting for Nineveh to burn. He doesn't realize that God was merciful and gave them a second chance, just like he gave a second chance to Jonah.
