How to say in Japanese "I want to learn driving a car"?


I am currently learning Japanese, I am still a beginner and right now I am
trying to say something like "I want to learn driving a car" or "I want to
learn how to drive a car". I was trying to use 車を運転する combined with 習いたい but I
don't know how to connect these two words so it makes sense.




There are a number of ways to do this.

  1. **車の運転を習いたい**. A suru-verb like 運転 can work as a noun if you dropped the する part. 運転 means _driving_ all by itself. Literally, "I want to learn driving of a car."
  2. **車を運転する方法を習いたい**. 方法 is a noun meaning "method/way", and 車を運転する is used as a [(gapless) relative clause](https://japanese.stackexchange.com/a/14550/5010) that modifies 方法. Literally, "I want to learn the way of driving a car."
  3. **どうやって車を運転するか習いたい**. Here どうやって is "how", and どうやって車を運転するか is an [embedded question](https://japanese.stackexchange.com/a/13038/5010) meaning "how I (can) drive a car". Literally, "I want to learn how I (can) drive a car."

The first one is the simplest and most natural way if you just want to say you
want a driver's license. The other two are wordy and usually unnecessary (but
they can help you to learn the Japanese grammar).
