  • Do not use a machine translator when you study Korean. Read this to get what 법 means. When you put this kind of question, you should mention both who will be the speaker and the listener and what the context is.

'I learnt to ride a bike' literally means 나는 자전거 타는 것을 배웠어.

But to make it more natural, it should be 나는 자전거 타는 법을 배웠어 or 나는 어떻게 자전거 타는 건지 배웠어.

'verb + 하는 (방)법' = '어떻게 + verb + 하는 건지' = 'how to + verb' in English

'법' in this situation means 'way, method or rule' and it is similar with '방법'.

ex) 떡볶이 만드는 (방)법 = 어떻게 떡볶이를 만드는 건지

떡볶이 만드는 법을 배웠다. = 어떻게 떡볶이를 만드는 건지 배웠다. I learnt to cook 떡볶이. = I learnt how to cook 떡볶이.
