'to catch incorrectly?' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this defines the answer.

'girl in this place said' is the wordplay.
'girl in' becomes 'mis' (I am not sure about this - if you are sure you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'this place' becomes 'here' (here in this location).
'said' indicates a 'sounds like' (homophone) clue.
'here' sounds like 'hear'.
'mis'+'hear'='MISHEAR'

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for mishear that I've seen before include "Pick up wrong" , "Sense (words) wrongly" , "Incorrectly pick up" , "Get wrong message" , "Fail to pick up" .)
