flavour

'distinctive taste' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'approval to enrol learner' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite understand how this works, but
'learner' could be 'l' and 'l' is found in the answer.
The remaining letters 'favour' is a valid word which might be clued in a way I don't see.
This explanation may well be incorrect...

'with' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for flavour that I've seen before include "Characteristic quality of something" , "property" , "Season" , "essential quality" , "Distinctive taste" .)

I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald.
