Both, breathing through your nostrils act as a vent-like mechanism filtering out pollution from the air, and breathing through your mouth fulfills your lungs with the right amount of oxygen it needs.

Trace the path of air through the respiratory system for a frog?

Respiratory system in a frog starts from the mouth, as the mouth expands the air is taken in through the nostrils. Then the nostrils starts closing and the mouth contracts causing the air to get inside the lungs. The body and lungs contract as the mouth opens giving out carbon dioxide. The exchange of air starts at respiratory bronchioles where oxygen is taken in and carbon dioxide is given out.

How do frogs get air into their lungs?

When air enters into the mouth through the internal nostrils. Air is drawn in by lowering of the floor of the mouth and then the floor is raised, causing the air to be forced out of the mouth. Valves in the external nostrils prevent the air from being forced back outside, and it is forced into the lungs.Frogs breathe by gulping air into their mouth and then closing their mouth and nares (nostrils). They then lift up their lower jaw and tongue to make the space inside their mouth very small. This increases the pressure of the air inside their mouth and the air moves from the mouth (high pressure) to the lungs (low pressure). Air always moves from areas of high to low pressure.Breathing out is passive (i.e. doesn't require energy) and the the high elasticity of the frogs body wall helps push the air out of the body.Read more in the related link.
