You might have realized that this “Quote of the day” section has become a large part of my website’s content. While I was picking up Chinese again in my late 30s after dropping it in my late 20s, I decided that the best way to study is to translate some quotes that I encountered into my mother tongue and English on the go.
These quotes may be funny or related to self-help. What’s better than being a better version of you while studying? Have fun with quotes in 3 languages. Check back here everyday for a new quote. Enjoy learning Vietnamese, Chinese, and English.

🧑🏼🤝🧑🏻 If you want to know if someone is truly your friend, see if they stand by you in times of trouble, willing to go to great lengths for you, rather than just enjoying good times together every day. // 如果你想知道一个人是不是你真正的朋友，那要看他在你危难的时候，会不会为你两肋插刀，而不是天天和你一起吃吃喝喝。 Rúguǒ nǐ xiǎng zhīdào yīgè rén shì bùshì nǐ zhēnzhèng de péngyǒu, nà yào … Read more
