| Cultural Insight |
| Becky: Now it's time for a quick cultural insight. |
| Khalil: In Morocco, it goes without saying that you greet people that you know. But, it's also important to always return a greeting, even if it is from a stranger or someone you don't really know that well. |

السلام عليكم
Hi Paulo,
Keep in mind that this lesson is in Moroccan Arabic. That's probably why you never heard tahala before.
