Acculturation would mean getting used to a culture.
Enculturation would mean getting into a culture, that is adopting it and accepting it.

Yes you are right, let me elaborate on the other way... Enculturation is the process by which a person learns the requirements of the culture by which he/she is surrounded (family,culture), and acquires values and behaviours that are appropriate or necessary in that culture... Acculturation, on the other hand, is learning aspects of a culture other than one's own - particularly those aspects which will enable the individual to survive in that culture... Hope it will help... :)

acculturation is modifying the culture or merging of cultures
enculturation is the process by which an individual learns the traditional content of a culture and assimilates its practices and values
