As a new year approaches, it feels only natural to pause and look back on the past 12 months—to reflect on what has unfolded, to appreciate the lessons learned along the way, and to acknowledge how far we’ve come.

As you prepare to wish your loved ones—and yourself—a happy New Year in the days ahead, we hope this guide will help you find exactly the right words in English to articulate the possibilities, ambitions, and joys you’d like to see take shape.
