Tips for Learning:
Practice saying "你怎么学的? (nǐ shì zěn me xué de?)" out loud to improve your pronunciation.
Listen to native Chinese speakers asking the question to get a sense of the natural rhythm and intonation.

Additional Notes:
"你怎么学的? (nǐ shì zěn me xué de?)" can be used to ask about any skill or knowledge, not just learning Chinese.
When asking someone how they learned something, it is considered polite to use the honorific "您 (nín)" instead of "你 (nǐ)" when addressing the person.
For example: "您是怎么学的? (nín shì zěn me xué de?)"
