I keep wondering how to ask a question like "how long" or "how often" in Esperanto.
In a dictionary it says that "Ekde kiam" can be used for how long.
Is that correct? Besides, what about "how often"?
Thank you!

johmue's answer is what you're looking for.

"Ekde kiam" is like "since when", or more literally "starting-from when". I would use the phrase in translating "How long have you been speaking Esperanto" -> "Ekde kiam vi parolas Esperanton?"
