“勉強する(benkyou-suru)” means “Study” and which has been used as the meaning of “to learn about a subject, especially in an educational course or by reading books”. The basic way to use it is “私は___を勉強する。(I study ___.)”, etc. For instance, “私は日本語を勉強する。(I study Japanese.)”, “私は数学を勉強する。(I study math.),” etc. The tips for using it are that “勉強する” is used as the meaning of “to study a SUBJECT BY YOURSELF or WITH TEACHERS”, unlike “習う”. Everyone could use “勉強する” as casual, polite and formal such as “昨日、日本語を勉強したよ。(I studied Japanese yesterday.)” as casual and “昨日、日本語を勉強しました。(I studied Japanese yesterday.)” as polite and formal.
一緒に勉強しませんか? (Would you like to study with me?) (要不要一起学习呢?) (같이 공부하지 않을래요?) (Chúng mình cùng học nhé?)
