    I completely trust the advice given on each of Annemarie's video. Why? Because I feel so comfortable listening to her, no matter what she is saying. The cadence and vocabulary are so gentle, smooth, succinct, and pertinent. ♥

      @@Speakconfidentenglish I was so thrilled when I first saw your video two days ago. I have been looking for work place related English videos or movies for too long and I finally found yours accidentally. I wish you could add more examples to your videos so I can imitate them in different situations. Could you please also do a video about how to respond or what I should do when my coworker or boss told us something like she/he is going to have a surgery. Also, what presents are appropriate for this situation. What should I do if I received Christmas gift from my boss?
      Thank you! 🙏

    P.s. this is not the full summary so you have to watch the whole video 😀
    1- start with a compliment and then ask a connected question .
    - I love that sweater. Is it new?
    - Those are cute shoes. Where'd you get them?
    2- Get the conversation flowing with engaging questions .
    - how was your weekend?
    - how long have you worked here?
    - what do you like about the new neighborhood?
    - what kinds of things do you do on the weekends for fun ?
    3- Ask for advice or get someone's opinion
    - what your favorite pizza place on a Friday night?
    - where's the best place to get coffee near th office?
    Effective question staters:
    What are your thoughts on..?
    What are your thoughts about..?
    Ex:
    Hey..Rebecca, it's nice to meet you. I'm sarah.. the new part-time accountant here..I'll admit that I am a little nervous on my first day..but I am really excited to get to know everyone..and I'd love to find out where the best places to get coffee around here..what's your favorite near the office?

    Really enjoyed this lesson, thanks for it.
    In some countries, the weather is a common topic for small talk and there are many questions that can be raised around it. For instance, "it was such lovely weather this weekend, have you had a chance to enjoy it? How?". Weather connects people :-)
    Regarding complements, it may be worth highlighting that in many cultures it is OK to complement things but not people. And when complementing a thing, one should be confident that the thing is new, indeed. Otherwise, it could be quite embracing to get a response that the person has been coming with this thing to work for ages and you've noticed it only now. That's probably not the impression that small talk is intended to make.

    People who look like me may also get passive-aggressive “compliments” and “questions” from people who wish to make fun of us. It can be hard to know the difference between a potential friend and someone who is digging for information to sound authentically connected to you when they lie about you later. That’s why I’m searching these videos even as a native speaker 😅
