Differences Between Language Acquisition & Language Learning

Language acquisition refers to unconsciously learning a language from exposure during infancy and childhood, while language learning refers to consciously studying a language through instruction and experience later in life. Key differences are that acquisition occurs naturally through interaction with parents and environment from a young age, while learning occurs through formal instruction with a focus on language rules and structure and is motivated by passing exams or joining a linguistic community.
