What is the difference?
 
今は三ヶ月日本語を勉強しています。それで、日本語で 書いて見る時が来ました。日本語の文法を全部知りませ ん。そして、とても間違いがあって、それぞれメッセー ジを英語で書き直します(このスレだけに)。

”JapaneseAngel”のメッセージを読んで、私の頭に一つの 質問が生じります。
”学習”と”勉強”はどう違いますか。”返事”と”答 え”は?
こんな”違い”質問ためにこのスレを作ります。
あなたの答えにとても感謝します。

Now I have been studying Japanese for 3 months, that's why I think it is time for me to try and write in Japanese. I don't know all the grammar, thus there will be plenty of errors and that is why I will rewrite every message in English (only in this thread).

Reading a message from JapaneseAngel, a question jumped out of my head.
What is the difference between 学習 and 勉強 and again 返事 and 答え?
I will use this thread for other "what's the difference" questions (I know I will find many more:) ).
I appreciate all your answers.

From my experience, 「学習」 is closer to the word "Learning" while 「勉強」 is closer to the word "Studying." For example, you probably will never hear 「明日のテストのために学習しています。」Instead it's more correct to say 「明日のテストのために勉強しています。」But similar to the words "Learning" and "Studying" there is definitely overlap in usage.

The same goes for 「返事」and「答え」There are certainly instances where you can use the words interchangably. But I like to think of「返事」as more of a "Reply" and 「答え」as closer to the word "Answer." To give you an example here, it's correct to say 「手紙の返事はもらいましたか。」 but incorrect to use 「答えましたか」in this case.

Hope this helps a little!!

他のフォーラムを読みながら、わが頭に新しい質問が生 じました。”出す”と”始める”と”掛ける”は接尾語 形として使用された場合が同じ意味でありますか。

While reading another forum a question popped out of my head. When used as suffixes: dasu, hajimeru and kakeru have the same meaning? (basically can they be used no matter what?)
