Cultural Insight
Alisha: Now, it's time for a quick cultural insight.
Alisha: Pakistanis do not always use the expressions for "Thank you" and "You're welcome" in everyday situations; these are concepts literally translated from English. Native speakers often show politeness simply by using polite pronouns and verb forms while speaking.
