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.

🌸🛌💭 I’m very lazy. Next time the flowers bloom, don’t call me to see them. There are too many trials in this world. Flowers blooming isn’t lucky.

💑👔💼 When a man first pursues you, he’s as free as an unemployed vagrant. Once the honeymoon phase is over, he becomes as busy as if he’s managing the United Nations. // 男人刚追你的时候闲的就像无业游民,热恋期一过忙的好像联合国都归他管。 Nánrén gāng zhuī nǐ de shíhou xián de jiù xiàng wúyè yóumín, rè liàn qī yí guò máng de hǎoxiàng liánhéguó … Read more
