| Cultural Insight |
| Becky: Now it's time for a quick cultural insight. |
| Khalil: When you want to call the waiter to your table in a cafe or restaurant, you can first try just a hand gesture with eye contact. Otherwise, if it's a man, you can call him as khuya, meaning "brother," or as khtî if it's a woman, meaning “sister.” |
