Through New Year's Eve
What kind of person are you on New Year’s Eve? This lesson looks at the countdown from 2024 to 2025 and the different “types” of people you meet at a New Year’s party. Some cook all night, sing (in tune or not!), dance to every song, or take photos for social media. Others hand out money, work overtime, chant and meditate, or just sit quietly and wait for midnight. You’ll also learn how to talk about the beginning, middle and end of the month.
