    I dont really get what you meant. Do you want us to translate Viet to English or English to Viet?

    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!

    I know "kiên cường", never heard of "kiên cượng".

    "kiên cường" means "unflinching"

    I dont even understand "địa linh nhân kiệt", sorry

    Cái này bác Quang nhà ta giỏi lắm, hy vọng bác ấy cho chút lời.

    Tớ thì hiểu đại khái : Địa linh => đất linh ( đất có linh khí) , Nhân kiệt => người xuất chúng. Có nghĩa là Đất linh sẽ sinh ra nhân tài.
    Thất bại lớn nhất của đời người là tự đại
    Đáng thương nhất của đời người là tự ti.
    Tự đại + Tự ti = thất bại đáng thương nhất

    kiên cường - resilient
    địa linh nhân kiệt - equivalent to land of the free and home of the braves
    [litterally: sacred land/ extraordinary people]

    Rồng Tiên - in short of "con rồng cháu tiên"... viets like to refer themselves as children of the dragon and the goddess. Or plainly Rồng Tiên is just a dragon from heaven... shy of being a slimy snake.

    I think the best definition for "kiên cường" is enduring (adjective).
    I get what "địa linh nhân kiệt" means but I really do not have any idea about it.
