Cultural Insight
Eric: Now it's time for a quick cultural insight.
Mehrnaz: In the morning, people will greet each other with salaam, sobh bekheir سلام صبح بخیر ("Hello, good morning!") and at the end of a work day you usually hear people say khasteh nabashi خسته نباشی. It literally means "don't be tired" but it’s just a way of showing gratitude for the hard work someone has done.

Outro
Eric: 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!
