hmmm, I was going for more like "<extreme pride> I'm learning, therefore I'm (not completely) successful".  Not exactly sure how I should have done that but your translation makes sense now that I read it.  Maybe

... ja'e mi to na'e mulno toi snada

That doesn't seem right though.

 You have a grammatical problem here.  "ja'e", like all BAI, must be
followed by a single sumti.  Therefore you need to "wrap up" the part
after it into one sumti by sticking a "lo nu" in front:

o'acai mi cilre ja'e lo nu mi na'e mulno snada

 This says, "<Extreme pride> I'm learning, therefore I'm not
completely successful".
