Know Want to Know Learned Language Acquisition is a process that involves to get involved with natural and material artifacts. Learning language is a tool to understand the world connections between the imaginaries we have and how we can transform them. How do acquisition language results get affected by a sociocultural factor? Acquiring a language is a process that everybody around the world goes through, in order to communicate. It implies being immerse in the culture where the language is developed, the geographical area, the way in which people talk, including the semantics, pragmatics, syntactic and phonetic dimensions. It is a natural process for each human being to acquire a language. we live in a communicative world around us, a global society that evolutions every day in such a different ways, subjects and areas affecting the cultures and our social interaction as well as new discoveries and technology advances have a strong influence in every language, making new words, inclusions and idioms, all of these sociocultural factors affect directly to language acquisition because is this all the input that native speakers can give to learners in their language acquisition process .

Know Want to Know Learned Acquisition is a subconscious process while learning is a conscious process. 2. Can adults acquire a second language as children do or just by learning? 2. World connections refer to know other cultures, different to the own one; and to get it, it is important to learn a language, something that is carried out in a conscious way following a procedure from a teacher who explains the new language rules and how and when to use them. Considering the critical period stage, it is complicated for an adult person to acquire a language because s/he is not able to do it in a subconscious way. 2. It is hard for adults acquire a second language as children do by many factors. One of those is the age , adults lost that capability to learn as faster as a child does and this is proved by many studies that show an easy and faster advance in early ages by the brain development in all its different areas of knowledge, this doesn't mean that adults stop to learn , it just means that our brain is developed and mature an our ability to acquire a SL in a natural way as the L1 ceases and is replaced by a systematic system, in contrast, a child's brain is like a sponge, full of desires to be fed because their language acquisition devices are ready for it, they acquire the language first and then consider its structure after acquisition has already taking place. In other words they learn in a natural way. In adults require more time and dedication and avoid some old interferences from native language structures. This age factor is one of the reasons to believe that in adults is a learning process of a second language first because adult’s brain tend to attend their metacognitive strategies to learn it. Later, when they have learned the SL, the language acquisition has taken place.
