There is a fundamental difference between studying and learning  in the field of language learning.

Being able to speak a language is askill. A skill is something that is achieved over time through trial and error. 

language learning is also about acquiring a skill, which involves a number of other factors, but the principle of its acquisition stays the same: if you decide to learn a language, devote time to it and to accept that you will stumble and make mistakes before reaching your goal . You will succeed in the end.

One can study history, geography and biology, but in the case of languages, you don’t study them, you learn them!

Just as we can decide to use books and audio materials to learn about history, geography and biology, we can also use them to learn languages. The main difference is that when it comes to languages learning, using the selected material the right way makes an enormous difference in terms of outcome.

Using a language course for learning is one thing, using it for studying is another.
