저는 한국어를 배우려고 해요
So today my Korean friend told me that ending a verb in 려고 해 is one way of saying "Trying to (do something)"
저는 한국어를 배우려고 해.
But i think 려고 해 is informal, right? So I think I should make it,
려고 해요. or..
려고 합니다. I get the feeling i am missing something though.
How to say, I tried to study? I think..
려고 했어요.
나는 오늘 한국어를 배우려고 해요.

저는 한국어를 배우려고 해.
=> 나는 한국어를 배우려고 해.
and you're right. 려고 해 is informal.
저는 is formal and 나는 is informal.
나는 오늘 한국어를 배우려고 해요.
=> 저는 오늘 한국어를 배우려고 해요.

I see. 배우다 is more like Learn, is it not?
Also, may i ask why it is 했었어요 instead of 했어요? Am I forgetting a rule?

(저는 - formal / 나는 - informal) I tried to study ( 나는 공부하려고 했었어-informal/ 저는 공부하려고 했었어요-formal)
