| Cultural Insight |
| Becky: Now it's time for a quick cultural insight. |
| Nora: Learning how to say the time in Egyptian Arabic is important. Don't worry though, it's very easy! Just use the word el-saa'ah meaning "o'clock" then say the number in the feminine form. For example, if you want to say “It's 4 o'clock”, you say el-saa'ah arba'ah and so on. |
