The difference between a foreign language and a second language

When we refer to a foreign language we know, we often use a foreign language or a second language to express it. There is a difference between these two phrases. The specific differences are as follows:

One: Interpretation of meaning

English as a second language [? Seck? nd？ Lɡw? d？ ] ? Beauty [? Seck? nd？ Lɡw? d？ ] ? second language

Foreign language English [? f？ r？ n？ Lɡw? d？ ] ? Beauty [? Fred? n？ Lɡw? d？ ] ? foreign language
