| Cultural Insight |
| Becky: Now it's time for a quick cultural insight. |
| Khalil: The dirham is the official currency of Morocco. However, very often, Moroccans will talk about prices in “rials”, which is an older form of currency. 1 Dirham is about 20 rials. |

khmsa w khmsîn
Fifty-five
The pronounciation is incorrect. It's not spoken in Darija, but instead it's in standard Arabic.
