Cultural Insight
Eric: Now it's time for a quick cultural insight.
Lena: When you introduce yourself, it's a good habit to shake hands. Jó napot kívánok is a very formal expression—sometimes people just say Jó napot when greeting each other. Both are polite, so you don't have to worry about making a mistake.
