Acoustic guitar is what it says acoustic, none electric makes the sound from the guitar body/chamber. Acoustic/electric or electro acoustic look the same as an acoustic but have a pic-up fitted inside the body to link to an amplifier. A Semi acoustic guitar looks more like an electric guitar but with a hollow body or chambered body with pick-ups mounted on the sound board of the guitar.

Is an acoustic guitar a good guitar for beginners?
Not really. That is, an acoustic guitar is not any more of a "beginner's" instrument than an electric guitar is. It might be cheaper, and it may be quieter (or possibly not: you can practice an electric guitar without actually plugging it in, or with headphones), both of which are reasons parents might choose to purchase a child an acoustic guitar instead of an electric one. If you learn to master an acoustic, then you will have an easier time learning to play an electric. This is simply because acoustic guitars require more precision to make each note ring true. Also: an acoustic requires more finger pressure and therefore more finger strength and calluses. An electric is easier on the finger tips, but is also more sensitive as far as technique. My best answer is to practice on both to develop the most versatility. But if sound is an issue, an electric is quieter if you don't plug it into an amp.

Which is the better guitar semi electric or acoustic?
This is what I experienced from my friend and I and we both play guitar. She plays electric and acoustic guitar (She likes acoustic the most). I play acoustic and its easier beginning with it (you can dominate electric guitar after playing the acoustic). But I think it would be better to start out with a basic acoustic guitar. An electric guitar would be the next level, for people who can afford one, and can play an acoustic. An electric guitar is also hard to carry(They're made of metal and plastic)and aren't cheap enough to get rid of or repair. The acoustic guitar isn't only just used for country( i hate country music... but i play acoustic!)it can be used for all kinds of things that you would probably want to know. Lets face the facts, you don't usually see an electric guitar player doing a solo on their porch. Electric guitar is better with more equipment and other people playing drums, e.t.c. But it just looks cool and has more varieties of sounds (with gear). So unless you are a hard-core rocker, or just think electric's better and cooler and want to take on these problems, go with the electric.
What is the difference between an acoustic guitar and an electric guitar?
There are many differences:An electric guitar can be plugged into an amp, while an acoustic guitar can't.An acoustic guitar has a completely different sound. It produces it sound through natural sound amplification while an electric guitar uses electronic pick-ups as well as an electronic amplifier to produce its sound.Acoustic guitars are always hollow, while the majority of electric guitars are solid.An acoustic guitar is much more portable because it is lighter and doesn't need a heavy amp to produce sound.Acoustic guitars are generally larger in size. They require a larger body to produce their amplified sound. The sound the acoustic guitar produces is much more dependent on the body size, types of wood used and shape of the body than the electric guitar is.Electric guitars are generally designed with slimmer necks/bodies and have easier access to higher frets.Also, if you want an acoustic sound while also being able to make it louder, you can attach a pick-up to it to make an electric-acoustic guitar or you can just buy an electric-acoustic guitar from the start.
Why does an acoustic guitar generally sound louder than an electric guitar without an electronic amplifier sounds?
On an electric guitar, what you are hearing are the strings vibrating; on an acoustic, this effect is carried around the hollow cavity in the guitar, which is then channeled out of the sound hole, it is this effect that gives an acoustic guitar so much more output than a strictly electric guitar.
What does guitar body mean?
