Learners sometimes think *un montón* is only literal ('a heap') and avoid it; remember it’s a common idiom for 'a lot' in informal speech.
Todos los días aprendo un montón.
Using *todos los días* changes the nuance to a more habitual, less emphatic tone.
Cada día aprende un montón.
Make sure the verb agrees with the subject; *aprende* would be third‑person singular.

Cultural Tip
The expression *un montón* is very informal and common in spoken Spanish across Spain and Latin America. It works well in casual chats, social media, or language‑learning apps, but you’d avoid it in formal essays or business reports where *mucho* or *muchas cosas* would be preferred.
