Who does not love New Year’s resolutions? To look back at what you’ve done the year that has just passed, decide that, somehow, the next one you’re going to do more, always more, became a better – or just more active – person, student, worker. Make a list out of it, the New Year Resolutions! Beautiful. It’s not important, then, whether or not you are really going to complete that (long) list of hardships. The important is to have one. To show, mostly to yourself, that you want to change in some aspect of your life.
Here at Liden & Denz, obviously, the resolutions are all about learning Russian. So, for you who were too busy programming the New Year Eve’s party, for you who were too lazy to think about a list yourself (but next year, you won’t be this lazy anymore!), for you who think you already know Russian well enough and don’t need resolutions – but then turn pale with your eyes wide, when watching just Маша и Медведь – we prepared a list for you!
If you did have a list already, what are your goals? Comment below to share them with us!
