What is the difference between achieve and accomplish?, or how do you use each one?

Question

Answer

To accomplish" simply means "to complete", as in "I've accomplished a lot of work today". It suggests that a person has simply completed an action.

However, "To achieve"  means  "to attain" or "reach" as in
"He's achieved a high level of knowledge on that subject" (He's attained/reached a high level of knowledge)

Answer

Hi Luis 
Both words are quite similar, I would not say there is a major difference in fact I would say a synonym of achieve is accomplish. Examples of sentences each word can be used in. I want to achieve a 7.5 in my IELTS exam I wish to accomplish learning advance level English. Hope this helps :)

Answer

You would do well to look at the etymology.

To "achieve" means to reach a target.
To "accomplish" means to complete a task.

To me, they are quite different.
