Language acquisition vs language learning
Todays show talks about language acquisition vs langauge learning.Acquisition is a subconscious proces; it happens naturally when you're exposed to a language in a meaningful, immersive environment. It's intuitive and leads to fluent, natural language use without needing to focus on grammar rules.On the other hand, language learning is deliberate and conscious. It usually happens in a formal setting like a classroom, where you study grammar, memorize vocabulary, and practice through structured exercises.If you too would like to participate in the conversations, I'd love to hear from you.
