Elizaveta Pachina Alumni Experiences What does it mean to learn a language? Generally, when we talk about learning a language, we mean a process that starts with a person not knowing a language but ends up knowing it, regardless of the number of languages a person might already know.

So why are our experiences and the mental image of acquiring our first language so different from one of learning a foreign language?
