My students always ask me this question. I have to say, there’re some differences indeed. 

Crystal Gao's Chinese Language Journey

10、“对不起”VS“不好意思” = What’s the difference between ‘Dui bu qi’ and ‘Bu hao yi si’?

آن روز که مرکب فلک زین کردند

آرایش مشتری و پروین کردند

این بود نصیب ما زدیوان قضا

ما را چه گنه قسمت ما این کردند

 I tell You this -- When, starting from the Goal,
        Over the shoulders of the flaming Foal
        Of Heav'n Parwin and Mushtari they flung,
        In my predestin'd Plot of Dust and Soul.


قسمت = fate

The Habits of Highly Effective English Communicators

Your Top 3 Fears When Speaking English (Job Interview, Speaking With A Teacher, IELTS Examiner).

In Zen philosophy, non-duality emphasizes the dissolution of boundaries. You are not separate from the task you’re doing; you are the task. Applied to language learning, this means letting go of the struggle and resistance that often arise when we view learning as something external to conquer. Instead of thinking, “I need to learn this grammatical rule,” shift your mindset to, “The exploring of how this rule expresses ideas is entering this very moment in time.” Instead of seeing a vocabulary list as a hurdle, see it as the vocabulary becoming immersed with your very being.

Non-duality teaches us to embrace the process fully, without judgment or the pressure of results. When you sit down to study, there is no "you" trying to learn the language; there is only learning happening. This mindset helps dissolve resistance and makes the process more intuitive.
