A long word
Why is “abbreviation” such a long word? Do you know what it means? In German, “Abkürzung”!

Let’s sing together
Aude Lang Syne is a famous Scottish song sung at the end of the year from Times Square to Tokyo. Watch the video clip and read the text – and don’t worry if you don’t understand it all, because I don’t either! 😉
Well, that’s it for 2015. Let’s look forward to next year! 🙂

- Happy 2016!
- We wish you a wonderful new year.
- With our best wishes for the new year.
- We look forward to working with you in the new year.
