Question

difference between acquisition and learning .(minimum 380 words)

Answer 1

Language acquisition is without conscious efforts. For example, we acquire our mother tongue, and any language we may learn in our early childhood, other than mother tongue. Some children grow up in a multilingual environment, and so they acquire more than one language. Learning (a language or anything for that matter) is to make conscious efforts to be skilled in that trait or quality. We learn a foreign language, and many other trades. It is not that we do not make efforts in acquiring our mother tongue; the difference is of conscious efforts. Recall how you acquired your mother tongue: although now and then you may have been corrected by your parents, but you don't remember to be told of tense, time, noun, pronoun, verb, adverb, active, passive, direct, indirect and case in apposition etc. - you acquired all these without conscious efforts. Learning forces you to make conscious efforts to know the aspects of a language you may not understand without being told,
