About this episode

As we step into 2025, it’s the perfect time to reflect on our goals and aspirations—and for many, that means making (and hopefully keeping!) New Year’s resolutions. Today, we’re revisiting one of my favorite episodes: 157.2 - New Year’s Resolutions Statistics. While originally created with 2024 in mind, the insights and lessons are just as relevant as ever for 2025!


In this episode, you’ll uncover fascinating statistics about popular resolutions in the United States, gain cultural insights, and—most importantly—learn how to set actionable goals for your language learning journey. 🎯 You'll also learn 10+ words related to Statistics, such as ratio, fraction, correlation, etc.


🌟 Let’s dive in and make 2025 your best year for learning English yet! 🚀
