Yes, there is. If a client asks for something unusual, he should
pay for all time involved. Obviously, there can be a fine line here.
I have, on occasion, charged less for a learning opportunity, but I
always make the point that I have a lot of skill and experience, and
that it is of benefit even when I am working in an area that I am not
expert in.
Think of it this way. You have to learn what a client wants and
needs. You charge for that, right? So you already are charging for
learning time.
