I only managed one of my numerous resolutions for 2009, I don't think I will bother for 2010.

That said, my work situation didn't help with most of them.

All mine were pretty minor last year. I didn't manage to socialise more, or stay a non-smoker, but i did manage to see more of my family. This year i plan to learn 4 languages to a proper level, as i have a basic grasp of the main 4 euro languages and want them all down to a t.

I also plan to attend my Mum's Christmas party next year, as i always avoid it like the plague and always feel guilty. (It's today...)

Out of interest what do you consider the 4 main Euro languages?

Presumably Spanish, English, German and, er, French or one of them there eastern block countries?

edit: Well who'd have thought Italian was slightly more widely spoken then Spanish.

I didn't include English... Oops. They may not even be the 4 main ones, i just naively considered them the 4 most common based upon what i could learn at school. (I know not of what is the most widely spoken.) :) French, German, Spanish and Italian.

Right, well that's enough to make you a polyglot...

I'd have thought in terms of most widely spoken, Russian and Portuguese would probably exceed German and Italian.

Staying and getting mashed has its advantages, Cheaper, warmer, no taxi queues and you get to pass out where you stand.

I think I've probably quit a few times. I never will, and don't really want too.  Just attention seeking I think.
