Estoy apprendiendo despacio despacio.

Question

Estoy apprendiendo despacio despacio.

I am learning slowly , slowly.

Estoy apprendiendo, lento, pero seguro.

I am learning slowly but surely.

Please correct my attempt.

Thank You

Well, I'm not sure if that would be grammatically correct or possible in Spanish, I'll leave that to a native speaker. A simple mistake is, there is only one "p" in "aprendiendo". =) - DJ_Huero, Apr 8, 2011

Answer 1

Estoy aprendiendo lentamente y gradualmente. I am learning slowly and gradually. You can turn adjectives into adverbs by making the adjectives feminine and adding the suffix "-mente". There are adjectives that end in "e" that don't change to have "a" endings, but we still add "-mente". Also, certain adjectives change differently. The adjective "bueno" turns into the adverb "bien". The adjective "malo" turns into the adverb "mal". It's important to remember that you need an adverb whenever you are trying to describe a verb.

Answer 2

Estoy apprendiendo despacio, despacio.

Estoy apprendiendo lento, pero seguro.

Con excepción de un par de comas, es perfecto español. Felicidades.

(Aside from a couple of commas, it's perfect Spanish).

Más vale paso que dure y no trote que canse.

Answer 3

It should also be noted that Despacio is only an adverb.

Lento(a) is a adjective and can used as an adverb by adding the suffix as GuitarWarrior has mentioned.

Answer 4

The double P (apprendiendo) does not exist in Spanish. Otherwise it is fine.
