Happy New Year (And A Special Announcement!)

Happy New Year from me, Christina, and Speak Better, Feel Great TV!

Now I know that it’s already 5 days after the New Year,

and for some Americans, it’s already too late to say “Happy New Year”.

But I wanted to take the opportunity to wish you all the best for the coming year.

And

in France, it seems ok to continue saying happy new year

until sometime

around mid-February.

No, I’m exaggerating…

but just a little.

But, in the US, we don’t really say Happy New Year after about the first week of January.

Maybe the second week if you haven’t seen someone since Dec. 31st.,

but

some extremists even say that after January 2nd, New Year is over.

Finished. Done. So enough of Happy new year.

There’s an interesting article from the New York Times

in the notes below.

Read it for some interesting insights into Americans

and the expiration date for saying “Happy New Year”.

And maybe see if your American colleagues tell you Happy New Year in the next few days…

or not.

Anyway,

Right now i’m still in the US for the next few days, enjoying my vacation with my family.

If you want to see a few pictures, feel free to join my Facebook page,

where I’ll be sharing a few snippets from my life in the US.

Now, here comes.

for the new year, I’ve got a special announcement for you.

Very soon, I’ll be creating and launching my very first complete online course.

If you like the episodes of Speak Better, Feel Great TV,

but want to go further and boost your English even more, this course is for you.

I’ve been asking you for your input, and you told me that the subject you most want my help with is

how to be more comfortable,

how to have more vocabulary,

and basically, how to make small talk in English.

First, thank you for your help in deciding the subject of the course.

But now, I need your help once more.

Help me decide EXACTLY what content to put in the course.

Go to the survey link in the notes below the video

and tell me precisely which topics you need vocabulary for to make small talk.

What subjects do you often talk about in your small talk conversations?

Or, do you want tips & advice on small talk strategies?

Click

on the link to the survey in the notes below

and tell me!

If you complete the survey, I’ll send you something very special just before the course launches

3 free training videos on small talk.

Your responses to the survey will help me know your biggest challenges,

so that I can help you solve them.

So happy new year and all the best for the future.

I’ll see you next week, with your regular Speak Better, Feel Great episode.

I’m Christina

and I’ll see you next time!
