| Cultural Insight |
| Eric: Now it's time for a quick cultural insight. |
| Marzena: When you introduce yourself, it's a good habit to shake |
| hands. It doesn't matter whether you're meeting a man or a woman—do the handshake. If you are not sure how to say 'Nice to meet you,' feel free to skip it. Polish people don't use it much. |
