Learn Hardcore Spanish (Spain): Me gusta mucho aprender español cada día. - I really like learning Spanish every day.

In Spanish, gustar literally means to be pleasing, so the sentence’s structure is reversed compared to English. The subject of gustar is whatever is pleasing (in this case, aprender español), and the person affected is indicated by the object pronoun (me). Hence, me gusta translates more closely to it pleases me.

Why do we add mucho after me gusta and not before?

In Spanish, mucho normally comes after gustar to modify the intensity of liking. Saying me gusta mucho emphasizes that you like it a lot, whereas placing mucho in other positions often sounds unnatural in this construction.

Is there any difference between saying Me gusta mucho aprender español and Me encanta aprender español?

Me encanta is stronger; it means I love doing something, whereas Me gusta mucho means I really like it. Both are correct, but they convey slightly different levels of enthusiasm.

Why do we say cada día at the end, and can it go anywhere else in the sentence?

Positioning cada día at the end is a common way of indicating frequency. You can place it at the beginning (Cada día me gusta mucho aprender español) for emphasis on the time, but usually it sounds most natural at the end of the sentence.

What is the function of aprender as an infinitive in this sentence?

In Spanish, when expressing what you like or love doing, you use the infinitive form of the verb. Here, aprender means you enjoy the act of learning Spanish. It works as the subject of the verb gustar—the thing that is pleasing to you.
