Build Social Fluency in English Through Authentic Small Talk

Build Social Fluency in English Through Authentic Small Talk

A coworker says, "I'm already on my third cup of coffee, and it's not even ten." You understand every word. But what do you say next?

That small moment is an invitation, and knowing what to do with it is the start of social fluency in English: the ability to join the everyday conversations that help people get to know you, and help you get to know them.

In this lesson, you'll learn how to recognize when someone is opening the door to small talk, a simple way to respond (show you heard them, then ask one simple question), and how to tell whether the conversation is continuing or naturally ending.

Then you'll get one small, low-pressure way to practice this week, in a moment where nothing important depends on the outcome.
