« seit » means 'since' or 'for' (a period continuing into the present) and takes the DATIVE case: seit einem Jahr (for a year), seit zwei Jahren (for two years — plural adds -n), seit einem Monat. Crucially, German uses the PRESENT tense with seit, not the past: « Ich studiere seit zwei Jahren » = 'I have been studying for two years.' Note « studieren » means studying at university, while « lernen » means to study/learn for school or an exam. For routines, time expressions like « montags » (on Mondays) and « danach » (after that) help sequence your day; the verb stays in position 2: « Montags habe ich eine Vorlesung. »
Describe your studies or work routine in 3-4 sentences, including one « seit »-phrase.
