When to use it
You will hear 你的中文很好 (nǐ de Zhōngwén hěn hǎo) constantly; Chinese speakers praise any foreign attempt generously. The modest reply is 哪里哪里 (nǎlǐ nǎlǐ, "where where", i.e. not really) or 还差得远 (I still have a long way). Accepting the compliment with a plain 谢谢 is fine in casual settings. If asked how you learned say 我在学中文 (I am learning Chinese) or mention a year count: 学了三年 (three years).
