    The document discusses the distinction between language acquisition and language learning. It defines language acquisition as the natural, unconscious process by which children learn their native language, whereas language learning is the conscious process of formally studying a second or foreign language. Some key differences outlined are that acquisition is natural while learning requires study, acquisition leads to communicative competence unconsciously while learning requires memorizing rules. Both acquisition and learning improve cognitive development and open opportunities, but acquisition allows understanding a language naturally while learning requires training memory.
