Cultural Insight
Eric: Now it's time for a quick cultural insight.
Lena: There is a huge nuance difference between nem szeretem meaning “I don’t like” and utálom meaning “I hate”. Utálom is a very strong expression and it's better not to use it in front of people you don't know or in circumstances where you supposed to be polite. It can be used amongst friends, but since it has a way too negative and direct meaning, don't use it often, otherwise you will present yourself as a negative and aggressive person.

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!
Lena: Sziasztok!
