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.

☔💔🌧️ The departure of a loved one is not a momentary rainstorm, but a lifetime of dampness. // 亲人的离去不是一时的暴雨，而是一生的潮湿。 Qīnrén de lí qù bùshì yīshí de bàoyǔ, ér shì yīshēng de cháoshī. // Thân nhân đích ly khứ bất thị nhất thì đích bạo vũ, nhi thị nhất sinh đích triều thấp. // Sự ra … Read more
