   In math class you learn….
   En la clase de matematicas se aprende o aprenden

   “se aprende”
   It’s simply an impersonal form that resembles the third person singular.

   If you learned it’s aprende…if the class is learning then it’s aprenden.

   the phrase I heard was: “el que aprende de la experiencia propia es un mortal sabio, pero el que aprende de la experiencia gena es un mortal sabio”. I understand everything but the “experiencia gena” part.

   The word wasn’t gena. It was ajena. Additionally, I think you misquoted the statement, as syntactically it doesn’t make much sense (pero= a comparative connector, however there is no comparison here.)

   Literal Translation:
   One who learns from his own experience is a wise mortal, but one who learns from other’s experience is a wise mortal.

   Probably Translation:
   He who learns from his own experience is a wise man, but he who learns from others is wiser.

   “Dese cuenta de que Ud. _____ gracias a los errores y deje que toda equivocación sea una experiencia que la ayude a mejorarse.”

   1) espere
   2) aprende
   3) entienda
   4) escuche

   A translation/reason for the answer would be greatly appreciated.

    2) aprende – learn

    “Dese cuenta de que Ud. aprende gracias a los errores y deje que toda equivocación sea una experiencia que la ayude a mejorarse.”

    It means that you ‘learn’ from your mistakes and that any mistake should be an experience that helps you to improve your life.

    1) espere = wait
    2) aprende = learn – this is the correct answer
    3) entienda = understand
    4) escuche = listen

    We don’t “wait,” ” understand,” nor “listen” from our mistakes; we do “learn” from our mistakes.

    please do not use those online translators, im looking for a translation from a fluent spanish speaker. thanks

    “Sólo de errores se aprende… hoy me duele mi corazon, mi vida es destrozada, y mis sueños son de tres meses delante de mí”
    also i cant figure out if its a song or not

    We only learn from mistakes
    Today my heart aches, my life is destroyed and my dreams are three months ahead of me.

    Somehow I feel this was translated from English to Spanish before, and you were given a not very good translation. But I could be wrong. I can’t see any rhyme and never heard this phrase before so I can’t tell you whether it’s a song or not.

    “aprendiz de mucho maestro de nada” Should be like a short saying. For example, “cada dia se aprende algo nuevo” means “you learn something new everyday.” Thanks!

    It’s the Spanish equivilant to the English maxim “Jack of all trades, master of none.”

    Sanz:]
    Ay payita mia, guardate la poesia
    Guardate la alegria pa’ti

    [Shakira:]
    No pido que todos los días sean de sol
    No pido que todos los viernes sean de fiesta
    Tampoco te pido que vuelvas rogando perdón
    Si lloras con los ojos secos
    Y hablando de ella

    Ay amor me duele tanto

    [Sanz:]
    Me duele tanto

    [Shakira:]
    Que te fueras sin decir a dónde
    Ay amor fue una tortura…
    Perderte

    [Sanz:]
    Yo sé que no he sido un santo
    Pero lo puedo arreglar, amor

    [Shakira:]
    No sólo de pan vive el hombre
    Y no de excusas vivo yo

    [Sanz:]
    Sólo de errores se aprende
    Y hoy sé que es tuyo mi corazón

    [Shakira:]
    Mejor te guardas todo eso
    A otro perro con ese hueso
    Y nos decimos adios

    No puedo pedir que el invierno perdone a un rosal
    No puedo pedir a los olmos que entreguen peras
    No puedo pedirle lo eterno a un simple mortal
    Y andar arrojando a los cerdos miles de perlas

    [Sanz:]
    Ay amor me duele tanto, me duele tanto
    Que no creas más en mis promesas

    [Shakira:]
    Ay amor

    [Sanz:]
    Es una tortura

    [Shakira:]
    Perderte

    [Sanz:]
    Yo sé que no he sido un santo
    Pero lo puedo arreglar, amor

    [Shakira:]
    No sólo de pan vive el hombre
    Y no de excusas vivo yo

    [Sanz:]
    Sólo de errores se aprende
    Y hoy sé que es tuyo mi corazón

    [Shakira:]
    Mejor te guardas todo eso
    A otro perro con ese hueso
    Y nos decimos adios

    [Sanz:]
    No te bajes, no te bajes
    Oye negrita mira, no te rajes
    De lunes a viernes tienes mi amor
    Déjame el sábado a mi que es mejor
    Oye mi negra no me castigues más
    Porque allá afuera sin ti no tengo paz
    Yo solo soy un hombre muy arrepentido
    Soy como el ave que vuelve a su nido

    Yo se que no he sido un santo
    Es que no estoy echo de carton

    [Shakira:]
    No solo de pan vive el hombre
    Y no de excusas vivo yo.

    [Sanz:]
    Solo de errores se aprende
    Y hoy se que es tuyo mi corazón

    [Shakira:]
    AAaaay… AAaaay… AAaaay… Ay Ay
    Ay todo lo que he hecho por tí
    Fue una tortura perderte
    Me duele tanto que sea así

    Sigue llorando perdón
    Yo ya no voy a llorar… por tí

    I’M NOT ASKING THAT EVERY DAY BE SUNNY
    no pido que todos los días sean de sol
    I’M NOT ASKING FOR EVERY FRIDAY TO BE A PARTY
    no pido que todos los viernes sean de fiesta
    NOR DO I ASK YOU TO COME BACK BEGGING FORGIVENESS
    tampoco te pido que vuelvas rogando perdón
    IF YOU’RE CRYING WITH DRY EYES
    si lloras con los ojos secos
    SPEAKING ABOUT HER
    y hablando de ella

    OH, MY LOVE, IT HURTS SO MUCH
    ay amor me duele tanto
    IT HURTS SO MUCH
    me duele tanto
    THAT YOU LEFT WITHOUT SAYING ANYTHING

    OH, MY LOVE, IT WAS TORTURE TO LOSE YOU
    ay amor, fue una tortura perderte

    ———-
    ~~I KNOW I HAVEN’T BEEN A SAINT~~
    ~~yo se que no he sido un santo~~
    ~~BUT I CAN MAKE IT UP TO YOU, LOVE~~

    ~~solo de errores se aprende~~
    ~~AND TODAY I KNOW MY HEART IS YOURS~~
    ~~y hoy se que tuyo es mi corazón~~

    BETTER SAVE ALL OF THAT

    AND LET’S SAY GOODBYE
    y nos decimos adiós

    I CAN’T ASK THE WINTER TO SPARE A ROSE BUSH
    no puedo pedir que el invierno perdone a un rosal
    I CAN’T ASK THE ELM TREES TO BEAR PEARS
    no puedo pedir a los olmos que entreguen peras
    I CAN’T ASK AN ETERNITY OF A MERE MORTAL
    no puedo pedirle lo eterno a un simple mortal
    AND GO ABOUT CASTING THOUSANDS OF PEARLS BEFORE SWINE
    y andar arrojando a los cerdos miles de perlas

    Uno aprende a amar, no cuando encuentre a la persona perfecta sino cuando aprenda a creer en la perfeccion de una persona imperfecta

    Comment by ~*~GOO~*~ on February 7, 2012 at 6:05 am

    it means ‘Someone learns to love, not when they find the perfect person but when they learn to believe the perfection of someone imperfect’ pretty saying

    Hi. I am bilingual and an adoptive mother. Although my baby isn’t a year old yet, we have already started speaking and reading to her in English and Spanish so she can grow up to be bilingual. I think it is wonderful that you want to learn Spanish. Here are some suggestions.

    1. Get a Spanish speaking friend and have them speak to you only in Spanish and reply only in Spanish. Necessity is the best teacher.

    2. Listen to Spanish radio stations.

    3. Watch Spanish television, especially kid’s shows that you can easily follow and comprehend.

    4. Check out bilingual children’s books from the public library. There have simple text printed a few lines at a time in English and Spanish so you can easily comprehend and learn.

    5. Chat online in Spanish with native Spanish speakers.

    6. try http://www.lomastv.com
    For $10 a month you get video clips (music,interviews,soap opera,etc) of authentic Spanish speakers with subtitles in English and Spanish which can be slowed down to understand better.

    Que Dios te bendiga …. VIVA LA RAZA!
