Hi Pamuk, Welcome to the forum. "Apañar" means to mend, and the "ando" part is more or less like the English "ing". So, "apañando" means "mending" or "fixing".

(Normally you can type a word into the dictionary box and find the translation yourself. However, this one is hard if you don't have a Spanish keyboard installed.)

Not to mention that highlighting it gives its definition as breaded. - lorenzo9, Jan 19, 2010

This is not so difficult to type into a translator. Make sure your num lock is on and then type alt + 164 to get ñ. The other spanish characters can be obtained as shown below:

alt+130 = é alt+160 = á alt+161 = í alt+162 = ó alt+163 = ú alt+168 = ¿ alt+173 = ¡

Odd.

Apañando isn't in the dictionary, so it picks the closest match, which is apañado. - lorenzo9, Jan 19, 2010
Ah. - webdunce, Jan 19, 2010
normally the dictionary would recognize the gerund, but I think the lack of ñ gets it confused. - kattya, Jan 19, 2010

I wonder if the poster is trying to write "aprendiendo English" or "aprendo English" -- that is, learning English or I am learning English?
