Étudier vs Apprendre

[latent pulsar]

well, one problem is that you haven't conjugated étudier correctly

so it's possible Duo would accept it if you had written "tu étudies" (with an i)

and the only difference is "to study" vs. "to learn"

[brittle fable]

To add to that: 'études' is the plural form of the noun.

Mes études se passent bien.
My studies are going well.

I didn't even realize I misconjucated. Lemme go back and try it with it correctly done and see if that works

[latent pulsar]

étudies vs. études is a pretty common error because they look so similar and learners conflate the noun and verb

[kindred birch]

There we go. Not the same exact sentence but this feels more right.

[kindred birch]

That's good to know. I'll just have to remember the i in the verb I guess

[brittle fable]

Seeing that you also want to learn German: perhaps it'll help to remember that the verb there is 'stud__i__eren', also with an 'i'.

[kindred birch]

That will be helpful once I get around to german
