Cultural Insight
Eric: Now it's time for a quick cultural insight.
Icten: For those of you who are not only English speakers, you can obviously use this question with any language you need.
Some people in Turkey study other languages at school, so maybe you will get lucky! Just substitute İngilizce with…
İtalyanca for Italian.
Rusça for Russian.
İspanyolca for Spanish.
Almanca for German.
