Small talk. Some people love it, some people hate it. And while a lot of that comes down to personal preference, it can also be dependent on your culture!
In French culture, for example, we don’t really engage in small talk. At least, not in the way that Americans do. In fact, if you’re someone who struggles to be comfortable with silences in conversation, you may have some difficulty when speaking with French people!
In today’s lesson, you’ll learn some useful French vocabulary as we explore some of the unwritten rules around everyday French conversation, including what is considered “normal” or “acceptable” small talk versus accidentally engaging in a conversational faux-pas.
Take care and stay safe.
😘 from Grenoble, France.
