bbclearningenglish.com Do you ever use small talk at work?
I might talk about the weather.
That's always a good topic.
And I would use small talk when I'm introduced to new people or just someone I know a bit.
If someone is, if you're up to something after work,
if you've got any plans for the weekend or if you had a good weekend, if it was Monday.
In today's episode of Office English, we're talking about small talk,
when to use it and what to talk about.
Hello, welcome to a new series of Office English, your podcast guide to the world of work.
I'm Pippa.
And I'm Phil.
