What is “small talk?”

Small Talk is literally a small talk in which people talk very briefly, usually for 1 to several minutes to talk about something not serious. For example, people can talk about:

  • weather
  • recent events
  • sports
  • family

We do not usually think “small talk” is very important but it does have a very important function as we engage in small talk with everyone, such as family, neighbors, colleagues, friends or even strangers.

It is vital for you to know how you can get better at “small talk” as it plays an important function in communicating with lots of people.
