    1st Version:
    Anyone who teaches me one word - even half a word - is still my teacher.
    2nd Version:
    Even he who teaches me the smallest bit can still be called my teacher

    Please correct my grammar as you see fit. Much appreciated!

    Default Grammar & Vocabulary

    "Động thổ" = to mobilize, to start a construction project, to remove and replace ...

    Chinese and Vietnamese choose not to do so in certain days because of bad luck or superstition

    im·mo·bile (ĭ-mōbəl, -bēl′, -bīl′)
    adj.


    1. Immovable; fixed.
    2. Not moving; motionless.

    Hope this would help
