Acception comes from the verb to accept. Exception means different to what is normal.
Exception can be something unique or not according to the rule: "Almost every English rule have some exceptions" We can also use the phrases "except something" or "except for something". For instance: "Everyone has finished the test except 2 students." "Each member of my family work out except for me." Acception is derived from the word "to accept" which means the same as "to affirm " or "to confirm", "to agree with". Each website provides us with the message "accept or decline the cookies".

acception isn’t a word. you are trying to say acceptance. acceptance means to accept it to approve of something. for example, you gave me a gift so i accepted it from you. while as, exception means to exclude a specific thing and treat it differently. for example, mom said i am allowed to wear any tight jeans with an exception that they’re not ripped.
Acception when you receive something and take it. Exception is something out of ordinary, unusual
سأجيبك باللغة العربية يا هاجر معك الأستاذة نجوى Accepting و exception صح نطقهم يتشابه كثيربس المعنى مختلف تماما Aceeption معناه القبول Exception معناه استثناء
Accepting is to agree upon something. "I accept the terms of our agreement." Exception is something that is out of the ordinary. "That is an exception to the rules."
To make it understand I'll give you an example. Acception is getting agree Exception is the filteration. 1. The chances of my acceptions are very high. 2. I'll need all of these things except one.
Acception means 'to accept something' and exception means 'special case'.

Hi Hajar! You can distinguish between ACCEPT and EXCEPT in two ways. The first way is to listen carefully to the first part of the word. Normally, when you say EXCEPT loud, it first comes out of your throat. But when you say ACCEPT, it starts from inside of your mouth. The difference here is so slight. The second way is much easier. Although ACCEPT and EXCEPT sound almost alike, their meanings are way too different. By knowing their meanings, you could easily distinguish between them. ACCEPT is to receive or take sth. EXCEPT is used when you want to mention sth that is different from the rule or is out of the ordinary.

Not so genius, but this has worked with my Asian and Latino students: Substitute all "Th-" in words with a "D-", as it is an easier starting point e.g. instead of "The", ask them to say De(almost like a form of pidgin english: de boi VS the boy). Its a matter of throat to tongue, where sounds with "T" and "D" are easier to begin with and then you will gradually progress to the "Th-" sounds as the find confindence and comfort. You could always tell them to pretend they are blowing out candles on a birthday cake; and for the "Th" sound their tongue should gently touch their teeth, like in words like "Thin" or "This". Have them practice the not so elated soft "Th" sound-- its like their tongue is having a short siesta on their teeth! Such a mental jounery and lots of creativity will get you through a lot of pronounciation hurdles.

The biggest challenge I faced while learning English was understanding and using different tenses correctly. It took time to get used to the various rules and exceptions.
