Hey! Awesome article on bilingual-isms! I grew up speaking Mandarin (parents from Taiwan) and later learned English in school. I grew up in the US and Canada so now, my English is better than my Mandarin, but I still can’t really read/write Traditional Chinese script 😂 as It e never got down to learning it even now, and my parents never pushed me to. Still, my quirk these days is counting in Mandarin (anyone experience this?!) but speaking more fluently in English. Also, losing a word in one language and making up for it in a thick accent with my other language (this was a meme; don’t quote me) 😂
