Cultural Insight
Becky: Now it's time for a quick cultural insight.
Ofelia: It might happen that you need to borrow something. If it's not a precious thing, such as a pen, in Italy it's ok to ask someone you haven't met before. It can even be a good way to make friends!

Becky: And that’s all for this lesson. Don’t forget to check out the lesson notes, and we’ll see you in the next lesson!
Ofelia: Ciao!
