The Savvy Newcomer team would like to wish you happy holidays in some of the languages our team members know. Thanks for interacting with us in 2015, and we look forward to staying in touch in 2016.

2015 has been a fantastic year to share with you! We’ve traversed the seas of translation and interpreting and covered as many topics as we could dream up. The holidays can be a good time to slow down and see what is most helpful to you. This year, our team grew and got more hands on as we shared personal stories about our growth in different areas.

For Spanish we’ll summarize it with the lyrics of one of the most famous Christmas songs in Spanish (also remarkably in the non-Spanish speaking world), which encompasses all the holiday wishes in the language of Cervantes, from Puerto Rican-born José Feliciano:

Feliz Navidad (Merry Christmas),
próspero año (prosperous year)
y felicidad (happiness)
