Happy New Year!

Hey everyone, sorry about the long break between lessons but I went abroad for my winter vacation and just got back. I thought I had set up a lesson to post automatically but I guess I forgot. Sorry about that!

Anyways, today I will just go over different ways you can wish someone a Happy New Year. These can be used in conversation, on nengajo (New Year's postcards), Christmas cards, etc.



Happy New Year!



Have a Happy New Year!



Wishing you a Happy New Year!



(Wishing you) All the best in 2012!




I hope you have a great year! or

I hope you have a great 2012!

Wishing you lots of love/health/wealth in the new year!

As you can see there are many different things you can say but generally, we just want to wish people luck, health, wealth and happiness in the new year. You can mention one of them or all of them. In casual English, you can also drop "Wishing you" or "I hope you" as they are implied.

Have a great 2012 people~!
