Welcome back from the New Year's holiday, and welcome to Berlitz WordMaster@Work 2011!! This is a time of year unlike any other. It's a chance to make a fresh start, to begin again (this time, on the right foot), to take stock of our habits and goals and give ourselves a full-on makeover. Of course, it takes lots of energy to put so many good intentions into practice. But after such a long holiday, we should have no shortage of energy, right?

So here it is - this year's “Kakizome” edition of Berlitz WordMaster@Work!
