Cultural Insight
Michael: Now it's time for a quick cultural insight.
Larisa: When you want to express your dislike, in Romanian, you only have to say Nu îmi place. If you want to add an action at that sentence, you will have to use the conjunctive tense of the verb such as: Nu îmi place să citesc, să înot sau să călătoresc.
