| Abstract: | In this article I critically examine both my spoken and written language acquisition. I present the advantages and disadvantages of being a Chinese/English bilingual. Through my own language acquisition experience, I suggest that language education in China may put emphasis on learners' subcultural diversities since China is a country with numerous sub‐dialects, and language education also needs to reconsider the balance between first and second languages. |
