Turns out that happy new Year is Feliz Año Nuevo.....thus correcetd on the blog.<BR/><BR/><B>Kavi</B> You talk about tongues swirling in the process of enunciation of new languages. What a coincidence, but I have just been reading about muscle memories (dont ask why), and they say that your tongue remembers its "swirling ", so to speak, in the language that you speak most often. And so , when we try, say French, or Swahili, we may not be able to swirl well....say, as awell as english/marathi/hindi/tamil etc.....<BR/><BR/><B>Darlene</B> Thanks for the correction. I just went on the Internet and found out the correct Mexican phrase for Happy new Year. It is Feliz Año Nuevo . Have correcetd the blog entry.<BR/><BR/><B>Aleta </B> Thank you. Next year you can wish me in Marathi as well :-) (and all your other Indian blogfriends also in their respective languages). Havent met Roda, but just know her from your blog.
