On the first video of the “Spanish life, love and music” series, you were speaking with these kinds of phrases.
me gustaría tocar un instrumento
quiero tocar la guitarra
siempre he querido aprender un instrumento
You’ve been speaking-to-learn with the videos.
Those phrases use correct grammar. They are also exactly the type of Spanish a native speaker would use.
Now we are going to make your Spanish even more authentic and clear with adding one little nuance.
In Spanish to say, “I want to learn to play the guitar,” you say,
Quiero aprender a tocar la guitarra.
Notice the “a” between the two verbs
aprender a tocar
This happens in Spanish every time the verb to learn, aprender, follows another verb.
Here are some common everyday examples.
Voy a aprender a hablar español pronto.
I’m going to learn to speak Spanish soon.
Quiero aprender a cocinar bien.
I want to learn to cook well
Si voy a vivir en México necesito aprender a bailar.
If I’m going to live in Mexico, I need to learn to dance
