Several nations celebrate this, but only a few acknowledge it as an official, non-working holiday . If you forgot to send a rose on Valentine's Day, it's only half the trouble. But if you forgot to

• ❑ Opening Word Ну, здравствуйте, мои дорогие слушатели = Well, hello, my dear listeners! Как вы поживаете? = 'How are you?' 'Как вы поживаете' is basically the same as 'Как дела'.
