✕Common Mistakes
Todavía ya estoy aprendiendo sobre eso.
"Todavía" (still) and "ya" (already) convey opposite meanings; they should not be used together.
Estoy aprendiendo todavía sobre eso.
While grammatically possible, the placement sounds awkward; native speakers put "todavía" before the verb phrase.
Todavía estoy aprendiendo de eso.
In some dialects "de eso" is preferred; using "sobre" is not wrong but can sound overly formal in casual conversation.

I keep learning about that.
Estoy aprendiendo todavía sobre eso.

Cultural Tip
Both "todavía" and "aún" mean 'still', but "todavía" is slightly more formal and is the default choice in most written Spanish. Placing "todavía" after the verb (e.g., "estoy aprendiendo todavía") is grammatically correct but sounds less natural; native speakers prefer it before the verb phrase. Also, "sobre eso" can be swapped for "de eso" in many regions, especially in Latin America, without changing the meaning.
