Small Talk
Everyday chat with coworkers, neighbours and strangers.
One situation, many conversations
In real life “Small Talk” isn’t one conversation. It’s the time it went smoothly, the time something went wrong, the time you had to ask one more question. Each one uses different words, so each one is practised on its own.
