For example, if you said “Rosa wants me to learn”. It would be “Rosa quiere que yo aprenda”. Now look at the rest of the conjugations for each person. Remember, it’s not the trigger that you conjugate for subjunctive. It’s the phrase after the trigger phrase.

Rosa quiere que yo aprenda
Rosa quiere que tú aprendas
Rosa quiere que él aprenda
Rosa quiere que ella aprenda
Rosa quiere que Ud. aprenda
Rosa quiere que nosotros aprendamos
Rosa quiere que vosotros ayudáis
Rosa quiere que ellos aprendan
Rosa quiere que ellas aprendan
Rosa quiere que Uds. aprendan
