Abstract

There are meaningful definitions of First language and Second language. First language (native language or mother tongue or L1) is the language a person has acquired from birth and a second language(L2) is a language that is not the native language of the speaker. However, what is second language learning? ‘learning a second language is defined as acquiring the ability to use it’s structure with in a general vocabulary under essentially the conditions of normal communication among native speakers at conversational speed’. In language learning, learners have conscious knowledge of the new language and can talk about that knowledge. Since first standard we have been learning a second language, though we make mistakes. Once a friend of mine said that “ho, you now come”, to me I could understand what he said, but it was not a meaningful sentence. Why he did this mistake? What is the apt cause for that? Why such problems appear?, Why people face such problems?, outwardly it may not be a serious issue but if you look into the language aspect usage and context then it so. Man is social being he has a language of his own(Mother tongue), but when he attempts to learn a new language various problems occur.
