Hi! Look, "man" is just a general neutral pronoun. Some languages have it, some don't. It can be translated into "one".

It should be used whenever you refer to a general person and it is conjugated in the third person singular.

You should learn languages by reading

Man sollte Sprachen beim Lesen lernen

One should learn languages by reading
