Happy New Year! We offer you the warmest of greetings on this first day of Berlitz WordMaster 2002.

New Years in the United States is a time for loud, spirited celebration, but in Japan these first days of the year seem slower, more thoughtful. In both countries, however, people use this time to look back on the previous year and decide what was good and not so good about it. People often make a fresh start and try to make the new year better than the old. This will be the theme of our first three editions for 2002.

Here's your "初-WordMaster"!


To start over is to begin again. You can add emphasis by saying start all over.
