Like me = como yo. Ej. You are learning spanish, like me. Tu estas aprendiendo español, como yo.

hi frind

In addition to "abogmsanti", I can add this note that in another use of "like me" , if you want to say, for example, "he is like me phisically", in this usage, you can say:

"Él se parece a mi físicamente".

You are learning spanish, like me. Tu estas aprendiendo español, como yo.

Purists would object to this "like me" in English and substitute "as am I". "me" is in the accusative (objective case) and, in this sentence the antecedent direct object is "Spanish" (capitalization supplied) but the intended comparison is not between "Spanish" and "me". Rather, it is between "he" (the subject of the verb) and "I" (the nominative/subjective case of the pronoun).

Some would amend the English to "You, like me, are learning Spanish." This has the virtue of emphasizing the comparison of "you" and "me" (both people not the language, Spanish) but still mixes cases (nominative & accusative).
