I'd like to translate the phrase "always learning" into Latin.
I think it would be something like SEMPER DISCENS, but am not sure...
What is the proper translation?

Semper discens ist totally right. If you want to express that you are always learning, it might make sense to add ‚sum‘. To my mind, a translation using a participle is probably the best way to say it as it gives you the attribute that you are always learning, which is indeed something like a character trait. If you just said ‚Semper disco‘, it does not really clearify that this sentence is meant as a leitmotif - just like you would not say „I always learn“ in English.
