So it's another New Year and it's time once again to make a fresh start.
Traditionally it's the time when everyone makes resolutions to persevere with something that they hope will make their life better. It might be giving up smoking, spending less in the sales or getting more exercise. Most people secretly they know they aren't going to keep their resolutions for more than a couple of weeks. In fact most of them don't even last that long!
One resolution that would definitely be worth keeping would be one to learn something new this year. It needn't be anything too difficult or academic. It could be something as enjoyable as how to brew your own beer or speak conversational French.
