Learn Hardcore Spanish (Spain): Todos los días aprendo algo nuevo en la escuela. - Every day I learn something new at school.

"Aprendo" is the simple present tense in Spanish, used typically to express habitual actions or routines, such as something you do every day. "Estoy aprendiendo" (present progressive) would emphasize that you’re in the middle of learning right now at this very moment, which is not necessarily the focus of this sentence.

What does "todos los días" mean, and could I say "cada día" instead?

"Todos los días" means every day and is a very common phrase in Spanish. You could also say "cada día", which also means every day. Both are correct, but "todos los días" has a slightly more idiomatic feel in everyday speech.

Why do we use "algo nuevo" instead of "algo de nuevo" or "algo nuevamente"?

In Spanish, "algo nuevo" means something new. The word "nuevo" here functions as an adjective describing "algo" (something). If you said "algo de nuevo", it would sound unnatural or ambiguous—almost like something again. Meanwhile, "nuevamente" is an adverb meaning again, which doesn’t work in this context.

Is there a reason why we say "en la escuela" rather than "a la escuela"?

"En la escuela" means in the school, highlighting that the learning happens inside or within the school setting. "A la escuela" would usually be used with verbs of motion to indicate going to the school (for example: "Voy a la escuela" means I go to school).

Why is "escuela" feminine?

In Spanish, nouns are assigned genders, and "escuela" is a feminine noun. There isn’t always a logical reason why certain nouns are feminine or masculine; it’s just part of how the language is structured. Because "escuela" is feminine, we use the article "la" and any adjectives referring to it would also use feminine forms.
