Dependent clause?

Hi, everyone.

Could you tell me which one of the two is the dependent clause in this sentence?

And also, how can I identify a dependent clause in sentences like these?

Athena will continue to learn English when she gets to the States.

Thanks!

Athena will [continue [to learn English]] when [she gets to the States].
