Le Perche, France France Hello, I'd like to translate a very simle sentence: "J'aime apprendre toujours plus" Is "I always enjoy learning more" OK? What are your suggestions?? Thanks P.S. I now there are already several threads, but I haven't found the exact "meaning" (somebody who likes learning and is curious etc.....)

France, Région parisienne French - France Bonjour, La place de l'adverbe est prépondérante : I always enjoy learning more = J'aime toujours apprendre plus I enjoy learning always more = J'aime apprendre toujours plus ... Tout dépend donc en fait de l'élément précis sur lequel on souhaite insister.

Boston, MA, USA English-American I always enjoy learning more I enjoy learning always more This does not sound idiomatic. Perhaps: I enjoy learning more and more. I enjoy learning more and more things.

Location: Mostly SW France Native language: English (BrE) "I always enjoy learning more" is perfectly idiomatic, though something of a pleonasm. "I always enjoy learning" says the same thing (since learning is, by definition, acquiring more knowledge than you had before) — unless of course you have a sentence such as "I enjoy teaching others, but I always enjoy learning more" (where more means more than teaching). I'd be cautious about "I enjoy learning more and more", since more and more is often associated with the passing of time, and in that statement it could refer to your increasing enjoyment, rather than to learning an increasing number of things. That ambiguity can be avoided with misterk's suggestion of "I enjoy learning more and more things". In fact that might be the nearest to "J'aime apprendre toujours plus", because to my mind they both have a sense of a growing rate of learning. Ws

Le Perche, France France Hello and thanks! Perfectly clear explanantion,; In fact the person who used the sentence in French meant something like this- she likes knowing more and more things and enjoys the process of learning (that's how I understood her point but then I started wondering how to put it clearly in English, and didn't imagine it would create such an exhustive thread.( "J'aime apprendre toujours plus" used in a casual conversation is easy to understand in French, as you know) Thank you very much and have a nice day
