the phrase "more about" plz help!

Question

I want to say, "I can't wait to learn more about spanish!" (or something to that effect) I think it would translate as, "No puedo esperar para apreder ...." but I can't seem to figure out the rest. any help would be greatly appreciated

Answer 1

For the 'I can't wait' part; a literal translation, 'no puedo esperar', or 'no puedo esperar más' could work, although in some places it wouldn't be said like that* - another common way to express it is - Me muero de ganas!

Here are some more options:

¡Qué ganas (tengo) de ...

Estoy deseando (que) ...

Estoy ansioso por ....

No veo la hora de (que) ...

More about could be phrased as 'más de', 'más sobre' etc.

So for the full phrase ...

Estoy ansioso por aprender más sobre español.

or Estoy ansioso por aprender más español. (if you wanted to say you can't wait to learn more Spanish)

Estoy deseando aprender más (de) español. - With the 'de' or not depending on whether you meant more Spanish or more 'about' Spanish'.

¡Qué ganas (tengo) de aprender más (de) español.

etc, etc

** A possible reason why 'no puedo esperar' might not be the best translation is that in some areas it could be taken to mean 'it's literally not possible' for me to wait' rather than to convey that you're excited about something*

Answer 2

No veo la hora de aprender español is how I'd express it.

This is much closer to conveying the I can't wait. - Rey55, Jun 15, 2013

Answer 3

I struggled finding a direct translation for "I can't wait to..." for a while, and it just doesn't seem to exist. You could say Espero con antelación aprender más de español, or simply aprender español. I´m not a native Spanish speaker, so you may want to get feedback from someone else.

Here, antelación is like saying anticipation. - antonioquieto, Jun 14, 2013
