No they are taught, but I suppose if you don't use them regularly it is possible to get confused as both involve rotating at a lower than normal airspeed. There are significant differences, mainly involving the commencement of the takeoff run, and angle of climb is not assumed to be critical in a soft field takeoff... Dig the PPL text books out to refresh your knowledge if you are unsure.
