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.

💋🍃💕 You are the meat filling, and I am the wrapper, tightly wrapping around you. You are the teeth, and I am the sticky rice, deliciously sticking to you.

🙅♂️😔🎭 It is often said that adults should learn to be strong, but in my opinion, they should learn to break down. The biggest problem for adults nowadays is that they are too strong. They all appear to be normal, but it’s too artificial. // 都说成年人要学会坚强，依我看，应该是要学会崩溃。现在成年人最大的问题就是太坚强，一个个都看着像正常人似的，太假了。 Dōu shuō chéngnián rén yào xuéhuì jiānqiáng, yī … Read more
