Language acquisition is considered a first-hand exposure to a language. Here, students learn via practical knowledge.

Detailed explanation-2: -Language Learning refers to learning about a language, its sound system, its structure. It is largely an intellectual exercise. Language acquisition means somehow absorbing a target language’s sound system and structure, ideally without ever thinking explicitly about the language’s actual structure.
