language learning
Mastering foreign tongues
Language learning is the process of acquiring the ability to understand and communicate in a language other than one's native tongue.
It encompasses formal study, immersion, and self-directed practice.
The term often implies deliberate effort rather than the natural acquisition that occurs in childhood: She's been focused on language learning since moving abroad.
Language learning apps have made vocabulary practice more accessible.
