Interlanguage

Interlanguage is the evolving version of a language that a person learning a new language develops as they progress. It combines elements of their native language and the new language, leading to unique grammar, vocabulary, or pronunciation patterns. Think of it as a transitional language bridge where learners experiment and make mistakes before achieving fluency. Over time, with practice and exposure, their interlanguage moves closer to correct usage. It reflects the learning process, showcasing both the learner’s developing skills and the influence of their native language on their new language use.
