Hi everyone How are you doing?
What is the difference between
learning and
acquiring?
Which is better for
teaching English as a second language?
Thank you all, with my regards.

Hello and welcome here in this lovely website.
Learn: to get knowledge or skill in a new subject or activity.
Acquire: to obtain something.
So there's a different use for each word.
we learn knowledge but we acquire money, book,....etc
