I'm learning spanish
A simpler way using the present tense. It's like saying 'I learn Spanish' and is used very frequently.
Means 'I'm studying Spanish'. 'Estudiar' (to study) is often used interchangeably with 'aprender' (to learn) in this context.
This means 'I am a student of Spanish'. It focuses on your role as a learner, great for introductions.
Please, speak more slowly. I'm learning Spanish.
I'm learning Spanish on an app on my phone.
Hi, I'm John. I'm a student of Spanish.
My pronunciation isn't very good because I'm just starting to study Spanish.
The phrase 'Estoy aprendiendo español' is universally understood and used across all Spanish-speaking countries.
It's common to hear 'castellano' instead of 'español'. So, you might say 'Estoy aprendiendo castellano'. Both are correct and understood.
Similar to Spain, 'castellano' is very common, perhaps even more so than 'español'. 'Aprendo castellano' is a very natural phrase here.
In these countries, 'español' is the standard term. Using 'castellano' would be understood but is much less common in everyday conversation.
Yo soy aprendiendo español. — Estoy aprendiendo español. — This is a classic mix-up of 'ser' vs. 'estar'. For actions happening right now (the present progressive tense), you must use the verb 'estar', not 'ser'.
Yo aprendo a español. — Yo aprendo español. — The verb 'aprender' does not need the preposition 'a' when you are learning a subject or skill like a language. You just say 'aprender' + [the thing you are learning].
Estoy aprendiendo espanol. — Estoy aprendiendo español. — The letter 'ñ' is not an 'n' with a decoration; it's a completely separate letter in the Spanish alphabet with a unique sound (like the 'ny' in 'canyon'). Forgetting the tilde (the squiggle) changes the word.
