The ongoing process of adopting or adapting to a new culture; the continuous act of becoming familiar with and accepting cultural practices different from one's own.
Present participle of acculturate, from Latin 'ad-' (to) + 'cultura' (cultivation). The '-ing' suffix marks the continuous action or process.
Acculturating is a gradual process that can take years or even generations—second-generation immigrants often speak two languages and celebrate holidays from both cultures, literally living between two worlds.
