Language is a specialized skill, which can be developed in the child spontaneously, without conscious effort or formal instruction; and is deployed without awareness of its underlying logic. Language is a system of arbitrary conventionalized vocal, written or gestural symbols that enable learners to communicate intelligibly with oneanother. Language Learning is a conscious study of learning the rules and the grammar of a language.
