I live in upper middle class San Francisco... It's either really good. Or you just got yourself judged.

The problem is...I can't fake the fact that I really don't care about how they feel about the their work or the weather or their first job. Small talk is just so forced...which makes it uncomfortable.

Small talk is forced if that’s what you make it. I use small talk to be present and make a conscious effort to try and learn about said persons life. Small talk is 100% necessary if you wanna get to learn about somebody, embrace it

My advice is to work on that. The problem could be your not seeing their humanity. We are all very similar in the end and have a lot of the same challenges. Class and politics don’t change it that much. There is a cycle of life and that is something to relate to.

Hmm.. small talk with u will be tuff.

I'm an English teacher myself (not native though) and I love the way you plan your lesson, very well-organized and easy for learners to follow. I'm thinking of including this lesson into my class next time. Keep up your good work!

Your way of teaching is so amazing, you're a great lecturer and a brilliant teacher. I'm really into your teaching style

Hi Emma. This is absolutely a great way to practice real English. Yeas, I hope that you'll focus on discussing each category in the coming lessons. I know lots of vocabulary, but the problem is that I don't always know how to use each word naturally, that's why I extremely push for discussing each case separately.

I read an article many years ago in Seventeen Magazine when I was in high school. It stated you can make more friends in two months by being interested in other people than you can in two years by trying to get other people interested in you. Love this video! Excellent suggestions.

Hi Emma, thanks a million for this! I'm a Brazilian guy living in the US since 2014 and I've always hated small talks, mostly because, even though living for few years now, still don't speak well. But thanks to you and your videos, this is changing.

Hi Emma! I have taught Japanese students for over 35 years. In Japan, small talk is not common with strangers (as in a party). I remember one of my students telling me how excited she was, going to her first international party. The following day, I asked her how the party went, and she said "Not good." When I asked her why, she said, "No one talked to me." Of course, if she had tried STARTING a conversation, thinks could have turned out much differently. I am now once again, at the behest of another Japanese student, starting to teach the art of small talk, which you have so wonderfully captured on this video. I love your bright-eyed, friendly, personable and light approach to small talk. I couldn't stop watching you engage your audience with so much positivity and energy. I have assigned this video as homework for my Japanese student, and will use it in our next lesson. Two thumbs up. 👍👍Thank you so much, Emma !

I love that part of Japanese culture. Introverts are admired and small talk is not something required in social situations. In the U.S it seems the louder , chattier people in the room are the most envied.🤔

Thanks a lot for sharing such a pragmatic class. It's really great.

Five main areas for small talk. Work Life Travel Food Weather In each area we can think in terms of time: now, the past and the present. Work 1. What do you do?6 2. What motivated you to get into (nursing)? 3. Did you always want to be a (nurse)? 4. What was your first ever job? - Do you like it? 5. What does your typical day look like? 6. What do you love about it? 7. Is this your dream job or are you working towards something else? 8. If money wasn't an issue what would you do for work? How would you spend your time? Life 9. Did you hear about (current event)? 10. Have you got much planned for the weekend? 11. What do you like to do in your spare time? (Might be a shared interest so you can easily chat now, or something you don't know about leading to more questions) - That is so interesting. - What do you do about_____? 12. Have you read any good books lately? 13. Have you seen any good movies lately? 14. Do you have any kids/pets? 15. Are you from here? 16. Where did you live before this? 17. Is this place very different to there? 18. Where did you grow up? Travel 19. Are you planning on getting away for the holidays? 20. Are you taking time off over Christmas? 21. I've just back from ____. Have you ever been? 22. You went to ___ last year didn't you? I am planning on going to that area and am not sure what to do /where to go while there. Do you have any recommendations? 23. What places are on your bucket list? Food 24. Im looking for somewhere to eat lunch? Do you know any good restaurants? 25. I am cooking ____ for dinner. What about you? 26. Have you tried the new (Thai) restaurant? 27. Do you like (Thai) food? Weather 28. It is a beautiful day today isn't it? 29. Can you believe all the rain we have been having? 30. It is pouring out there. Its a shame I rode my bike. How did you get to work today? Many of these start with a context: sharing your experience first then inviting their input. Also using the word 'so' is a helpful way to introduce a question.

I agree. You gotta be a little brave and defensively joyful against strong rejection. I don't agree with Emma; It really takes being a little bit of an a hole, but still nice. If one can't spontaneously read and react amusingly, the other person's probably not having as much fun as they would be chilling alone. 😁

Hii Emma I started watching your vedios just a month ago, and you addicted me.. I've downloaded so many videos and I repeat watching it (even if i don't have network connections, I keep going).

Hy Ema, almost everyday I watch this video, it's a base for learn English, i read in out loud the subtitles and I'm decorating. You are gorgeous!! I love it.

As a 15 year old girl, I am often put in the place of having to make small talk with a lot different teenagers. It’s pretty much always in a church setting (at my youth group) and I want to seem more,ya know understanding. Making small talk is like always the first step to making friends or developing new relationships with people I am meeting or wanting to get to know at church. I hate awkward silence but awkward small talk with a bunch of teenagers is um cringy for loss of better words. Thanks for the vid! Next time I am engaging in a conversation with a 13 year old boy (who probably doesn’t wear deodorant) I will definitely ask him what his line of work is or where he thinks i should travel to with my fiancé! (all jokes aside thanks for the vid, much love)

Hey Emma, You know what you do, you usually do the best you can; it spends a lot of effort and time, our energies, our ideas, our hope, believing that it will work, and sometimes it works, but not always. On the other hand, it is so good when people receive a sincere compliment for what we do and, even better, for what we are. You are a beautiful woman, Emma. I don't agree with you, but I'm in love with the woman you are. I am from São Paulo, Brazil, I am 49 years old, I am divorced and I spend most of my time studying languages. I study English, Español, I like French and I have studied Chinese too. But mine is Spanish and English. And that's how I came across you. I like you very much, and give your friend, Lucy. It is true. You two are two fantastic and very beautiful women. I am not a stupid fan, I am a man, single, yes why, I live alone. I have two children, but they don't live with me. They are independent as well. Which leaves you free to do what I want. You are a Woman with a big heart. I admire you for that too.
