Hi Bob the Canadian here.
00:00As you learn English you'll want to get really good at something that we call small talk.
00:02Small talk is a kind of conversation where the topic is very light, where it's very simple to have a conversation with someone.
00:07So in this video I'm going to help you learn a little bit about small talk that you can use with people you don't know, small talk that you can use with people at work, and small talk that you can use with friends and family.
00:18Hey Bob the Canadian here and we're going to talk about small talk today but before we get started if this is your first time here don't forget to click the subscribe button below and give me a thumbs up at some point during this video if it is helping you learn
00:37Really small, simple conversations that you can have with either people you don't know, people you work with, or friends and family.
00:54Let's start with people you don't know.
01:02I'm going to imagine that all of you have spent time in a line, like at the grocery store, or in a waiting room, like at the doctor's office, where you are either standing with, or sitting with people that you don't really know.
01:05And it's nice to have a little bit of a conversation with them.
01:21There's really two things that you can talk about if you are at the grocery store or in the doctor's office.
01:25The first form of small talk would be talking about the weather.
01:32Isn't it gorgeous out today? or Wow, it's really coming down out there!
01:37- If it was raining for instance.
