How can I say "I would like to know how to do something"?

Question

I am practicing to compose an inquiry. I read that saying "I would like to~" is させていただきます. There are similar questions about "to know how to do something" but expressing your intent to know is what I am struggling with.

For example, I can think of saying how to make a payment again as「…どうやって再度支払いをするか知っていますか？」. But I think させていただきます won't fit in that context.

Answer 1

させていただきます does work as a translation of I would like to, but only in some cases. E.g. I would like to start the presentation = プレゼンを始めさせていただきます.

It is a humble form for I will do something, literally something like Let me take the honor of -ing and won't fit in case of asking how to.

Polite way of asking include

• どうやって再度支払するかご存じですか (Perhaps do you know...)
• どうやって再度支払するか教えていただけますか (Would you tell me...)
• どうやって再度支払するか教えてください (Please tell me...)

The basic pattern should be {どうやって, どのように}...{するか、すればいいか}{ご存じですか、教えてください、教えていただけますか}. In normal conversations どうやって...するか教えてください is usually polite enough.
