Common Mistakes

  • Estoy gustando de mi curso de programación.

    ‘Gustar’ is not used with the gerund in this construction; use ‘disfrutar’ or ‘gustar’ in its normal form.

  • Estoy disfrutando a mi curso de programación.

    The verb ‘disfrutar’ always takes the preposition ‘de’, not ‘a’ or ‘en’.

  • Estoy disfrutando de mi curso de programacion.

    Don’t forget the accent on ‘programación’; it changes the stress and is required in correct spelling.

Alternatives

  • Me está gustando mi curso de programación.

    I’m liking my programming course.

  • Me encanta mi curso de programación.

    I love my programming course.

  • Estoy aprendiendo mucho en mi curso de programación.

    I’m learning a lot in my programming course.

Cultural Tip

In many Spanish‑speaking countries, it’s common to talk about learning experiences with ‘disfrutar’ because it conveys genuine pleasure, not just a neutral ‘like’. Avoid mixing ‘gustar’ with a gerund (e.g., *‘estoy gustando…’*) – the correct structure is ‘me está gustando…’. Also, remember that ‘de’ is the required preposition after ‘disfrutar’, never ‘a’ or ‘en’ in this context.
