English Translation

I am trying to learn Spanish.

why not sto provando?

Ciao e benvenuto! Yes indeed, it would make sense here. However, I’ve discovered that Italians often use Cercare instead in this type of phrase as it can mean “endeavour to” or “attempt” as well. I think Provare tends to be more suited to phrases “to test” or “try”… “Proverò questa nuova ricetta”. It will be interesting to hear from a madrelingua🖐

If I’m not mistaken, provare is used with a, so that restricts the choice of synonyms.

Brilliant! Grazie mille Morbrorper…
