Com a prática, você vai aprendendo a atualizar o sistema e instalar programas novos.

It means with practice or as you get practice.

In this sentence, com a prática sets the idea that something happens gradually through repeated experience. It is a very natural expression in Portuguese.

• com = with
• a prática = practice

So Com a prática, ... is like saying:

• With practice, ...
• As you practice more, ...

Vai aprendendo gives a sense of gradual progress over time.

This structure is:

• ir
  • gerund
• vai aprendendo = literally something like goes learning

In natural English, that often becomes:

• you gradually learn
• you start picking up
• you learn over time

So the sentence is not just saying that you learn; it says you learn little by little, especially through practice.

Compare:

• você aprende = you learn
• você vai aprendendo = you gradually learn / you keep learning as time goes on

Not exactly in a strict grammar sense.

Vai is present tense of ir, and aprendendo is the gerund. But together, this structure often suggests something that develops from now on or over time, so it can feel future-like in meaning.

Here, Com a prática, você vai aprendendo... means something like:

• With practice, you gradually learn...
• As time goes on, you learn...
• You’ll come to learn...

So it is not the simple future tense, but it often has a future result through a gradual process.

Because the verb aprender commonly takes a + infinitive when it means to learn to do something.

So:

• aprender a atualizar = to learn to update
• aprender a cozinhar = to learn to cook
• aprender a dirigir = to learn to drive

That a is not the article a. It is a preposition required by aprender in this pattern.

Because both infinitives are connected to the same idea, and the preposition can be understood for both.

So:

• aprender a atualizar o sistema e instalar programas novos

means:

• learn to update the system and install new programs

Portuguese often avoids repeating the preposition when it applies to both verbs.

You could also say:

• aprender a atualizar o sistema e a instalar programas novos

That is grammatical too, but repeating a is not necessary here.

Portuguese uses definite articles more often than English.

So where English may say:

• update the system
• or sometimes just update system software in special contexts

Portuguese naturally says:

• atualizar o sistema

The article o makes it sound normal and complete. It usually refers to the system that is relevant in the situation, such as the computer system or operating system.

Both are possible, but programas novos is the more neutral, straightforward way to say new programs.

In Portuguese, adjectives often come after the noun:

• programas novos = new programs
• computador novo = new computer

If you put novo before the noun, it can sometimes sound more stylistic, emphatic, or slightly different in nuance depending on context.

So in this sentence:

• instalar programas novos

is the most natural, ordinary wording.

Not strictly necessary, but it is very normal in Brazilian Portuguese.

You could say:

• Com a prática, vai aprendendo a atualizar o sistema e instalar programas novos.

But in Brazilian Portuguese, subject pronouns like você are often used more than in some other varieties of Portuguese, because they help make the subject clear and sound natural in everyday speech.

So:

• você vai aprendendo

sounds completely normal and natural.

The structure is:

• aprendendo = learning
• a atualizar = to update
• o sistema = the system
• e instalar programas novos = and install new programs

So the pattern is:

• aprender a + infinitive

and here the two actions being learned are:

1. atualizar o sistema
2. instalar programas novos

In other words, the person is gradually learning how to do those two things.

Normally, no. The natural expression is com a prática.

Portuguese often uses the definite article with abstract nouns in expressions like this. So com a prática sounds idiomatic and complete, while com prática would usually sound incomplete or mean something slightly different in another context.

For this sentence, stick with:

• Com a prática... = With practice...
