I look forward to..
In answering a question in a text book I was trying to say "I am looking forward to learning many things from you". Not really sure about how to connect the two sentences I had a stab in the dark with:
あなたからたくさんことを習いをたのしみにしています。
But I feel certain that's wrong. Can anyone enlighten me please?

Re: I look forward to..
I think maybe something along the lines of
"いろいろ教えてもらうのを楽しみにしています"
could be what you want.
As you can see, I have used てもらう which is nominalized by の to be used with をたのしみにしている

If you change たくさんことを習い to たくさん習うこと, it's grammatically correct, but I don't feel like the phrase is very natural. あなた, in particular is rude to use with anyone above station with you (such as a teacher), so that should probably be changed to 先生.
The bigger problem, though, is that it sounds to me like this phrase is something that would not be a good thing to literally translate -- it sounds like a place where よろしくおねがいします would work very well. What is the question in the textbook? What is the context?

Wow thank you both for the quick replies, very much appreciated. The question was about writing a response to an invitation.
