Cultural Insight
Becky: Now it’s time for a quick cultural insight.
Laura: If someone knocks at your door, the most common expression we use in Mexico is ¿Quién? which means “who?” If you are the one knocking, just answer with your name, unless they are familiar with your voice, then you can just say - “It’s me.”
