Abstract: Protostellar regions in nearby molecular clouds provide ALMA ample opportunities for studying how low-mass stars form. Star formation is a multi-component process, and key advances for these studies have been due to ALMAs particular design to optimize multiple observing techniques in a single facility. These capabilities lead us to study the interconnectedness of the disk-envelopeoutflow-environment of low-mass protostellar systems, rather than focusing on single components. With respect to various star formation studies, ALMA now offers the sensitivity to probe faint lowmass sources; angular resolution to resolve intricate morphology of the protostar system; spectral setups to study numerous molecular transitions and continuum; velocity resolution to identify rotation, infall and outflow signatures; the ACA to recover extended emission; and polarization measurements. I will feature recent ALMA results that begin to tie together the complex scenario of low-mass star formation, motivating ALMAs potential for advancing this study in the coming years.
