How to translate? (ru-en)

Я тоже не учила Испанский, но из-за того Испанский алфавит похож на Английский я чуть-чуть могу понимать

    I didn't study Spanish either, but since the Spanish alphabet is similar to the English one, I can understand a little Spanish.

Grumbler: I WASN'T learnING Spanish EITHER, but SINCE THE Spanish alphabet is similar to THE English (one), I can understand A LITTLE Spanish.

⁌ ULY ⁍added a comment 6 anos atrás

What a stupid thing to say... the English alphabet is also similar to the Hungarian - see how much you understand! 😂

Исправил, спасибо.
Не понимаю, почему continuous.

To me учила looked like an imperfective verb meaning “was learning” and the perfective form would be НАучила. Is that incorrect?

grumbleradded a comment 6 anos atrás

Да,
учила - imperfective (= изучала / учила кого-то)
perfective - выучила / научила
Однако, я с трудом представляю perfective про язык. Выучить можно задание, стихотворение, но не язык.

Здесь "не учила" = не учила никогда, не изучала никогда, вообще.
Например, диалог:
- Я в школе учил только немецкий, испанский не понимаю вообще.
- Я тоже испанский не учила, но немного понимаю потому, что он похож на английский (якобы)

Ok, the problem is the verb LEARN. You need to use STUDY or TAKE in this context: I didn’t study/take Spanish either. Saying DIDN’T LEARN means that you studied it for some length of time, but didn’t succeed in assimilating it: “I lived in Ecuador for five years and studied Spanish at an institute, but I didn’t learn - I don’t have a head for languages.”

Thank you for the explanation, btw.

Ну ладно, значит исправляю не study.
Take, мне кажется, это в школе/университете/на курсах. Учить можно и самому, без помощи.
