In each country there are superstitions related to certain holidays. For example, in Germany, on the New Year there is a habit of pouring lead into cold water. The form that lead will have in some way or another is related to the person’s future. If a heart forms, then it implies a marriage, a round shape means luck, an anchor would symbolize the need for help, and a cross would foretell the death of a close person. Do you believe in such superstitions or not? Whatever would be the answer, I urge you at least to adopt the translation of the traditional expression “Happy New Year” into German. Press the Play button to listen to the phrase “Frohes Neues Jahr”.
