Small Talk - Mastering Skills and Strategies for Social Conversations
Has Coupon
Let's learn some techniques of speech associated with small talk , the talk that leads onto longer conversations
Description
In this class, we will examine phrases, vocabularies and what to say to enable you to start small talks that lead to long conversations.
Many of us have a negative impression of small talk and may even feel it’s a waste of time and unintellectual. This type of talk on the other hand, enables us to warm up to real conversations, reduce social anxiety and build good relationships with the people you meet and have to converse with.
If you’re an intermediate or upper-intermediate learner who is nervous about having a casual conversation and engaging others in long conversations , this class will help you learn some basic techniques.
