This paper explores the differences in thinking between first-language and second-language learners by analyzing the differences in thinking between first-language and second-language learners from three aspects: language intuition, cultural background, and language use. This paper’s method mainly uses comprehensive analysis from the perspectives of linguistics and psychology and combines some relevant literature and research. The results suggest that these differences in thinking give first-language learners an advantage over second-language learners in learning language, which can provide some pedagogical implications for providing some reasons and suggestions for second-language learners.
