| | Have you always wanted to learn Spanish or brush up... | Explanation:
"Have you always wanted to learn Spanish or brush up your English ..."
Given some editorial flexibility, I would rewrite it more simply:
"Do you want to..."
"Are you eager to..."
But if you think it's essential to convey "давно", "Have you always" could be a way to do it without the heavy-sounding "long + participle" constructions. In this expression, "always" is not meant literally. |
