Cultural Insight
Eric: Now it's time for a quick cultural insight.
Icten: If you can’t remember how to say Goodbye in Turkish, you can always just say bay-bay.
This expression is pretty casual, but if you just can’t find that right word, you can always just use bay-bay and no one will have any trouble understanding you.

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!
Icten: Hoşçakalın.
