What are the constructions "se nos" and "se me" known as? Some special type of reflexive pronouns? I would like to learn more about phrases like this, but I don't know what to google! I don't understand how they work, I have very basic understanding. To me, "se nos enseña" reads as "he teaches us" not "we are taught". I am confused.

No entiendo cómo funcionan, tengo conocimiento muy básico. Para mí, "se nos Enseña" dice así "he teaches us" no "we are taught". Estoy confundido.

There is no way a construction with "se nos enseña" would include a "he" in the translation. You might find this discussion (http://forums.tomisimo.org/showthread.php?t=13735) useful.

:thinking: You are trying to translate word for word, and that very rarely works for learning a language. Try very basic sentences first; otherwise you'll find very difficult to follow some structures and your Spanish won't be understood either.
