  • Once you know how to make effective small talk, you will be able to make new friends and form connections with strangers in many everyday situations. As an English learner, you might think that it’s difficult enough to speak English with people you know or work with. But I’ll show you how using small talk and having conversations with people you don’t already know can improve your English even further. If you don’t know how to make small talk, follow my advice in this video. I’ll give you three keys you can use to speak to new people and form meaningful connections with them. www.engvid.com/3-keys-to-smal...

    I'm a native English speaker but I'm totally here because I'm shit at small talk. lmao. This guy's voice is so soothing, he's basically the Bob Ross of English. Also, a tip for the uninitiated, politics and religion are never small talk. They are the very definition of very, very prolonged talking that or may not end up in open conflict and/or large quantities of yelling. The more you know.

      It's actually good that English isn't taught in school... see English is not my first language and English was been taught in our school and we didn't take English as a language but as a subject so we all use to refrain from learning/practicing English. And that's what we lack there. English is a language so treat as a language and not as a subject doing so it will automatically change the perception towards English of non english speakers.
