Today, we can talk about the very old Scottish song which is traditionally sung at the stroke of midnight on New Year's Eve: Auld Lang Syne

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Auld_Lang_Syne​

Happy Happy New Year, Happy New Year
A time for hope and a time for cheer

Happy Happy New Year, Happy New Year
A Song of Joy for all to hear


Bridge:

A year has passed
We say goodbye forever

A new year dawns
Hooray, it's a brand new day!

С Новым годом, с Новым годом
Время надеяться и время подбадривать

С Новым годом, с Новым годом
Песня радости для всех, чтобы услышать


мост:

Прошел год
Мы прощаемся навсегда

Новый год рассветает
Ура, новый день!

Lesson 36/55  60min

Hi Misha,

​

Today we'll begin conversational lessons using Breaking News English. 

​

First, I will show Misha the new vocabulary on Quizlet.

​

Misha will listen to a recording of the  article in British or American English.

​

I will ask Misha the 20 discussion questions one by one.

 

Skype will provide captions of Misha's answers (his exact words). 

 

Then, I will say outloud any corrections needed .

 

At the end of the lesson, I will send Misha the screenshots of  all the captions on the Skype chat box. 

​

I think it will work better than using Google Translate as a template.
