For example:

1. Are you learning Japanese, also?

2. Are you learning Japanese, too?

Are both sentences correct?
I too would like to hear from natives.

Also/too -wise, I think there are two important points.
One;
Which does the sentence means?
A. Are you learning Japanese, just like me?
B. Are you learning Japanese, as well as Chinese?

Two;
The comma ',' should be abbreviated in modern English, shouldn't it?

..........................
I don't know about "also",
But
In regard to "too", I've heard that
if I want to mean B, "Are you learning Japanese too?" is correct.
if I want to mean A, "Are you too learning Japanese?" is correct.
