Grammar question? Is it “are you learning well?” or is it “Are you learning good?”?
When asking someone how they are doing in school, which one should be used, if any???

It depends what you’re asking. “Are you learning well?” means is the learning coming along nicely. “Are you learning good?” means are you learning about good (as in good and evil).
Either way, it’s an awkward sounding phrase. I would think it’d be easier to ask “How is your education going?” or something like that.

Well is an adverb. An adverb answers the questions How? When? or Where? So how are you learning? Well. Things can BE good or LOOK good or TASTE good or SMELL good but you don’t learn good. You can learn good as opposed to evil. Like I teach my daughter good not evil, but I don’t cook good. I cook well. My food TASTES good but not well. I swim well and I read well but not good. I can read a good book. But I don’t read good; I read well.

Well
A teacher taught me a trick that is a pretty good rule of thumb. If you can do it in a well then use the word ‘well’. For example; Are you doing well in baseball? Well, we don’t usually play baseball in a well but we could.

Are you learning well because ‘good’ is usually for stuff like ‘that’s a good bike’ or ‘how are you-good’
Hope I helped!

neither are right. Ask if you have been learning much, or are you doing well, or have you done well in school.

Well. It is an adverb because you are asking them how they are learning.
