| Cultural Insight | |
| Becky: Now it’s time for a quick cultural insight. | |
| Laura: In Mexico, you can say straight up that you don’t like something. But it’s best to use the phrase No me gusta since, lo odio might offend someone. | |
| Becky: 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! | |
| Laura: Hasta pronto. |

Hi,
Thanks. I will try my best to translate it.
I don't like exams in Spanish is No me gustan los examenes
Is that correct?
Thanks
Hola Richard,
Thank you for your comment.
You're correct. But "lo odio" can also be translated as "I hate it".
Sigamos estudiando.
