✦Grammar Breakdown
Moiaussi,j'apprendslepiano.
Moi (pronoun)
‘Moi’ is the stressed form of the first‑person singular pronoun, used for emphasis or after ‘aussi’.
aussi (adverb)
‘aussi’ means ‘also/too’ and follows the word it modifies; here it emphasizes that the speaker shares the same activity.
j' (contraction)
‘j'’ is the contraction of ‘je’ before a vowel or mute h; it keeps the flow of speech smooth.
apprends (present tense)
‘apprends’ is the first‑person singular present of ‘apprendre’ (to learn).
le piano (definite article)
In French, musical instruments are preceded by the definite article ‘le/la’, not ‘un/une’.

✕Common Mistakes
Je aussi, j'apprends le piano.
‘aussi’ must follow the stressed pronoun ‘Moi’; ‘Je aussi’ is not idiomatic.
Moi aussi, j'apprends du piano.
Musical instruments take the definite article ‘le/la’, not the partitive ‘du/ de la’.
Moi aussi, j'apprends à le piano.
The verb ‘apprendre’ does not need ‘à’ before a direct object; use ‘apprendre le piano’.
↔Alternatives

I am also in the process of learning the piano.
Moi aussi, je prends des cours de piano.
Me too, I'm taking piano lessons.
J'apprends le piano, comme toi.

Cultural Tip
In French, ‘aussi’ follows the word it modifies, so ‘Moi aussi’ is the natural order. Avoid saying ‘Je aussi’ – it sounds ungrammatical. Also, French speakers usually use the definite article with musical instruments (le piano, le violon) unless they are speaking about a type of instrument in a generic sense.
