	Context	English	Filipino	Actions
		I was being a petulant baby in elementary school.
		All I have to do is persevere and power through learning the language properly this time.
		I'll simply look up each word I don't know, and burn its pronunciation and meaning into my memory.
		Unfortunately, she doesn't know a single word in the poem's first line.
		After spending 15 minutes pounding seven words into her memory, her enthusiasm evaporates.
		This actually is incredibly difficult...
		I'm not surprised that I have nothing to show for my six years of Chinese school. It feels like the knowledge is just washing over my brain like water over plastic.
		Is my brain just not wired for this?
		Could it be genetic? Even after living the majority of their lives in America, my parents haven't mastered English, either.
		It takes another 15 minutes for her to finally overcome the first line of the poem.
		At last! Onto the second line!
		And I already know all these words.

		It's total gibberish. Is it supposed to sound poetic mushed together like that?

		Noelle feels the urge to tear the magazine to shreds.
		Perhaps noticing her hands quaking with barely surpressed rage, Chun-hua peers over Noelle's shoulder to see what she's reading.
	learningChinese_eb45f514	What's wrong?
		Nothing. I'm just translating one of my mom's poems.
		Why don't you ask your mom for help?
		I'd rather die.
		Oh. Okay.
		Maybe I can help instead?
		Where are you stuck?
		What's this supposed to mean? {font=chunhua_chinese.ttf}鏡花水月?{/font}
		Oh, that's a...How do you call it?
		A saying. Like the lesson of a story.
		Flower in the mirror, moon in the water
		It's short for 鏡子裡的花，水面上的月亮.
		Pretty much, it means something that you can see but never grasp.
