Is this correct use of the conditional future tense?

"Aprendería" for "you could learn"

The sentance is--> "por tanto apredería sobre otro el país"

This means, "Therefore you could learn about another country"

The tense is called "conditional", not "future conditional". "Future" is a different tense. - lazarus1907, Jun 1, 2011

The way you have written it is in the conditional. "Aprendería" is more like "would learn". However, in the context you have written it, I think it conveys the same message.

Hi, student!

Therefore you could learn about another country

...entonces podrías aprender (cosas) sobre otro país

...entonces aprenderías (algo) sobre otro país

You need to add a direct object there... what are you going to learn? aprender is a transitive verb

otro el país

Por lo tanto, puede(s) aprender de otro país.

Therefore, you can learn about another country.
