習う and 学ぶ ?
What's the difference between 習う and 学ぶ ? I've seen them both used, but I can't tell when it's appropriate to use one over the other. In which instances would you use each? Or are they interchangeable? Thanks in advance (:

Question

Answer

習う means "tutored" or "be taught" and 学ぶ　means "to learn or aquire".

For instance.

日本語を習っている。
I am taught japanese.

日本語を学んでいる。
means I am learning japanese.

Answer

"習う" means to learn something from someone.
There is an implication that you have someone who teaches you,but it isn't usually used when you are learning an academic subject.It is often used when you are taking a class or lessons to practice something,such as piano.

"学ぶ"means to study, to do something to get some knowledge.

I hope this will help:)
