Hi Sivy,
Of course the terms "learning" and "acquisition" are two different things. Let us see the difference between these two terms:
LEARNING is a
conscious process of accumulating knowledge in a language.
Example: Mathematics is
LEARNED(not acquired)
but
ACQUISITION is a
unconscious gradual development of ability in a language.
Example:Children
acquire language through a
subconscious process during which they are unaware of grammatical rules.
Hope, these might be helpful...
