'never broken' is the definition.
The answer and definition are not the same part of speech. However, past participle verbs and adjectives can occasionally mean the same thing.

'english learnt abroad?' is the wordplay.
'english' becomes 'e' (abbreviation).
'abroad?' indicates anagramming the letters (I've seen 'abroad' mean this).
'learnt' is an anagram of 'ternal'.
'e'+'ternal'='ETERNAL'

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for eternal that I've seen before include "Undying" , "Ceaseless" , "abiding" , "Forever, never-ending" , "Never-ending, existing always" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
